The luxury indoor ski resort

Snow in the desert, where it’s + 40° in the shade...Something that sounds like a fairy tale told by Queen Scheherazade has become a reality in Dubai.

There, an impressive indoor ski area has been built in the Mall of the Emirates. With an area of 22 500 m2 covered in 6000 tons of snow, it provides visitors with numerous ways to enjoy a very special winter experience.

It offers 5 ski pistes with different levels of difficu-lty, the largest being 400 m long with an altitude difference of 60 m. The facilities also include a 4-seat indoor chair lift, a 90 m long “quarter pipe” for snowboarders and the world’s largest (3000 m2), interactive snow park. So everyone, right down to the smallest child, will find something to suit them for the perfect winter‘s day in the desert.

And to round off the day or to relax and unwind in between sessions, there’s the Café St. Moritz. Après-ski with a difference.

Outside, it’s +40° in the shade – and inside you‘re skiing on real snow at -1°!

The task

The locker rooms have to be part of the experience and at the same time integrate into the design and entertainment concept of the owners.

An expansion option was intended even in the ad-vance planning stages, which required the furniture components to be highly flexible. This is why the Cambio series a highly modular system which is suited to different user groups thanks to its various compartment sizes, was used. At the same time the lockers can be flexibly expanded and changed to respond to changing user numbers and user structures.

The locker groups also fulfil a partition function, creating user zones.

The locker colour concept creates a pleasant atmos-phere and serves as a uniform design principle for all locker room zones. The volcano grey carcass houses the extremely durable HPL front, which adds a warm tone to the colour mood with its pine design.

The challenge here was to create a solution

which was both attractive and functional. We

succeeded in creating harmony between

oriental style and an alpine

atmosphere with

innovative ideas

and the right feel

for the particular

environment.

Optimally coordinated

During the planning stages, it was particularly taken into account that visitors to Ski Dubai come from all walks of life and the facility is a unique meeting place for the most diverse nationalities.

The compartments in the ladies’ and men’s locker rooms are more generous in terms of size than those in the open locker rooms. Entire compartments provide the option of hanging up the traditional “dishdasha”, for example.

Cambio optimally integrates different com ponents like the display elements on the front, posters, advertisements and safety specifications, all of which are clearly and attractively presented. Special top units simplify the power supply and supply the online locking system with energy and fault-free exchange of data.

Cambio is therefore used as a component of the complex invoicing and locking system. The system’s control mechanisms are used throughout the entire facility. Access control, payment and use of lockers are carried out using one and the same data carrier.
