Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE

Claw BBQ Hampton Hilton

The lighting concept for Claw BBQ at Hampton Hilton Ras Al-Khaimah blends rustic charm with a modern twist to create an inviting and energetic atmosphere. The design centers around warm, dimmable festoon style lamps suspended from nets that crisscross the ceiling, casting a soft and ambient glow throughout the space. These vintage-inspired lights pay homage to traditional BBQ joints while adding a touch of industrial elegance. To balance the warm tones, strategically placed track lights accentuate the restaurant's key features, such as the sleek bar area and the open kitchen, creating focal points that draw the eye. An additional layer of retro charm is introduced through decorative illuminated signage strategically dispersed throughout the space, reminiscent of traditional neon-style signs, thereby completing the homage to the past and augmenting the overall ambiance.

As the day transitions into evening, the lighting concept seamlessly adapts. As the sun sets, the lighting gradually shifts to a cozier ambiance, with the playful festoon lighting and dimmable track lights taking center stage, creating an fun and vibrant setting for guests to savor their BBQ experience. This lighting concept at Claw BBQ harmoniously unites classic barbecue nostalgia with modern design, ensuring an engaging and memorable dining atmosphere from day to night.
