Official release will follow - it’s super cool to see how @eoslightmedia is leading the field in both AV and Lighting in our markets.

I provide a turnkey design and build or "as specified" systems integration solution for Architectural, Entertainment & Themed Projects in the GCC Region. Exploring the best application or technology for the environment, my team prototype, test, engineer and commission systems delivered from a portfolio of internationally recognised manufacturers.Architainment not only covers lighting , but all aspects of integrating theatre and entertainment technologies shoehorned into a construction project requiring BIM or subtly into the world of architecture providing effect with little visible affect. Recently completed Projects include the groundbreaking Dubai Parks and Resorts Bollywood and Motiongate Theme Parks including state of the art Show Theatres which opened late 2016. Franco Dragone "La Perle" Dubai spectacular includes full Production Lighting and Special Effects packages from Oasis handed over in 2017.Projects completed in the GCC region include a bespoke Lighting, AV and Special Effects Package to YAS Waterworld, Lighting and AV systems to Oman's second largest auditorium - the Bosch Centre at TAISM, Ferrari World , King Abdelaziz Centre for World Culture and Knowledge Theatre and Gallery.

I enjoy cooking, regularly play bassoon in the Dubai Chamber Orchestra and UAENSO, cycling and taking my mind off the day job.
