Martin Professional transforms Phnom Penh bank
- Details
Located in the centre of the capital city, Phnom Penh, along one of the busiest roads - Preah Sihanouk Boulevard, ABA Bank’s head office witnesses thousands of people pass through every day. The bank and the head office building has overseen a major phase of growth and development, comprising of several rented buildings, a mix of back and front-line offices, and exclusive executive spaces for the top-management. Also, contributing to the landscape of the city is the bank’s contemporary façade made of a mixture of vertical louvers and corrugated box panels.
“The challenge at the ABA Bank’s head office was to highlight and maintain the visibility associated with the main facade, which was perfectly visible during the daytime but was less visible at night,” said Kep Kem, director at Bright & Eternity Co. “To understand the requirements, we conducted a site walkthrough together with Martin’s team to determine any possible cable route, access, controller and installation points. One of the concerns that we faced was to minimise disturbance to their day-to-day operations and complete the installation within a given timeframe. After due consideration of the requirements, we decided that the Martin Linear Quad Graze series would be the perfect solution,”
Both Martin Exterior Linear Quad Graze 310 & 1210 RGBW Series and Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter were chosen for this integration.
"The project at ABA Bank called for lighting solutions that were executed with a high level of expertise and dexterity at the same time," said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. "We'd like to thank our partner Bright and Eternity Co. for delivering and designing an expertly executed solution, one that will certainly make the ABA Bank’s head office a dazzling fixture of Phnom Penh’s skyline.”
