Lighting Design
MASQ the leading creative squad in the region specialized in creating the moment and making it happen in a Wow way.
Design Strategies
Our tried and tested design and delivery process ensures that we can realize groundbreaking ideas. Close collaboration plays a vital role throughout the entire design and delivery process, no more so than when we are translating the core values of the project into concepts and solutions. Workshops, meetings, presentations are an essential part of each stage.
Strategies
We begin by developing the lighting brief with the client and design team. As we consider the unique qualities of the project, exploring the role that light and darkness can play, creative solutions begin to emerge.

Concept
Our ideas evolve by considering the experience of the end-user, from all angles, and within a practical envelope of cost, buildability, ease of maintenance and energy use. We think about quality as well as quantity, considering the effect of light, shadow, color, texture, movement and change and their relationship to form, space and materiality.
Development
Our conceptual ideas crystallize into detailed technical solutions that include initial suggestions for lighting and control equipment. The dialogue established with the project’s design, construction and maintenance teams allows full integration of the technology into the overall project. We use tests and mock-ups to explore the possibilities, helping inform the design and construction process.
Technical
We produce comprehensive packages of drawings, specifications, and details, helping to co-ordinate the lighting and control systems with the architecture or landscape design such that they become part of the construction documentation.

Construction
We provide support throughout the construction process both on-site and from our studio to help quickly resolve any queries. The delivery of the concept remains firmly at the forefront of our minds, as we continue to evaluate the lighting scheme as it is installed.

Handover
At the project’s conclusion we review the entire installation. We assist with commissioning, programming and focusing of the lighting systems. We provide help and guidance to the maintenance and management teams who adopt the finished scheme
Design Department Stages
STEP 1
CONCEPT DESIGN
First phase of a project
It is where we let our creativity take over and shine.
After having a clear brief from the client, we work on conceptual design studies by providing sketches , renders and night simulations .
STEP 2
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Second phase of a project
It is where we dive deeper into the project design.
In this stage we work on validating the design through dialux calculations ,layouts , detailed sketches and by light fitting selections .
STEP 3
DETAILED DESIGN
3rd and final stage of a project
It is where the technical part occurs.
In this stage we work on installation details , wiring and circuit diagrams along with the final lighting layouts ad fixture selection.
Design Department Projects
Our projects ranges according to various scales and typologies.
From small scale projects to big scale projects, our creative team will never fail to provide the best solutions.
Mina District - Doha Port Development
A trending destinations to people in Qatar, Mina District overall lighting was designed to convey a feeling of relaxation and warmth in contrast to the bright colors used.
Skaiky Villa
Warm white light that provides a sense of relaxation was used for the facades of the Villa, whereas for other functions were lit with cool white for a differentiating effect.
Mall of Qatar Welcome Park
A lighting that reinforces the landscape concept and the shape of the island was developed by MASQ’s design squad, where a flow of light outlines its boundaries.
Sky Garden
Inspired by the greenery infused in the building, the lighting concept was to highlight the relationship between life and nature by focusing the lights on the vegetations.
Scala Tower
A dynamic, energetic lighting for the façade is proposed to create a focal eye-catching design where multiple scenarios can be conveyed.
Katara Floating Island
A lighting that reinforces the landscape concept and the shape of the island, where a flow of light outlines its boundaries and creates a halo of illuminance.
Riyadh Tower
The design was based on highlighting the floating slabs and proposing different scenarios for the building either through RGBW or tunable white fixtures.
KMC Hospital
A design that is both appeasing to the eyes and taking into consideration the purpose of the space, KMC’s lighting aimed to provide a relaxing feeling to its visitors.
Milos Tower
A multiple scenario lighting concept was developed for Milos Tower by MASQ where it merges into the curves of the tower and wraps around its structure.
Private Palace
The main element of the architecture was selected by MASQ to be highlighted by high levels of light that decreases gradually through the other architectural elements.
Waterfront 19 & 20
MASQ proposal for the building was to connect both towers through lighting and provide a degradation in color temperature to achieve a dynamic sparkling effect of light.
