Last but not least, VEGAS Kuntsevo will be located in the west side of Moscow, between Mozhaysk and Rublevo-Uspensky highway, carrying on the idea of thematic interactive areas fitted with every sort of amusement facilities, such as: a giant climbing wall, a 2-stage velodrome, a huge amusement park, an ice skating rink with integrated cylindrical aquarium, a multiplex, a food court, a shopping complex and much more…
After replacing the old outdoor architectural lighting system of VEGAS Kashirskoye, with LED lights in 2015, GRIVEN’s exclusive distributor for Russia, DSL Company, has recently been charged with a new project at VEGAS Crocus City. The required task involved the upgrade of the interior luminaires dedicated to the highlight of the false sky ceiling of a large indoor square, Rockefeller Plaza, which reproduces the famous New York square. Offering a variety of renowned restaurants and cafés, Rockefeller Plaza is adorned by a huge Prometheus statue, standing right in the middle of a clear water fountain, and is equipped with a skating ice ring of 700 square metres, attractions which altogether make it a bustling and amusing meeting point.
In order to give the idea of a true open air square, the 40 meters high artificial sky overhead required a dedicated illumination system, which should be able to enhance the slightly clouded blue sky of Rockefeller Plaza with a well diffused light, simulating the course of the day from dawn to sunset. To do so, Griven lighting designers had to overcome some physical obstacles such as small walls rising from the buildings of Rockefeller Plaza up to a very close distance from the ceiling, preventing a direct and easy pointing of the lighting system towards the false sky.
