Kaya Artemis Casino, Northern Cyprus

Located in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus, the Kaya Artemis casino is encased in architecture matching the Temple of Artemis.

There are many hidden psychological elements to consider when designing a casino space, in which the lighting played a significant role. The lighting was utilised to highlight key areas of interest and to keep the feeling of daytime at all times, hence why there are very rarely any windows in casino’s.

Indirect lighting options were used throughout this project, creating a bright, yet comfortable space to stay long periods of time. The central bar, washed with cool light stands out with its full height tubular form.
