Atlantis Dubai — En Fuego Firebox Project
A HaloFire Installation on a Monumental Scale
The En Fuego Firebox at Atlantis Dubai stands as the largest HaloFire installation ever created — a breathtaking fusion of engineering, artistry, and raw flame. Rising five feet high, each fire column forms a counter-rotating double vortex, producing a surreal, living sculpture that stops guests in their tracks.
Powered by an LC-certified electronic ignition system, the flames spool upward in synchronized motion, creating an immersive elemental display unlike anything else in the world.
Engineering the Impossible
As an indoor fire feature, this project required a highly specialized solution integrating:
- Full mechanical exhaust and extraction system
- Integrated gas leak detection network
- CO₂ fire suppression technology
- Precision airflow tuning for double-vortex formation
- Cross-collaboration with international engineers and designers
- Compliance with Dubai municipal authorities
Running on synthetic natural gas, the system required entirely new calibration efforts, as the fuel type isn’t readily available in the U.S. Every flame parameter — from pressure curves to ignition behavior — was tuned specifically for this project.
To match the scale and luxury of Atlantis Dubai, each firebox interior was finished in mirror-polished stainless steel with heat-resistant bronze reflective glass, amplifying the flames into a luminous, infinite chamber.
The Human Side of a Monumental Build
All the engineering triumphs aside, nothing compares to witnessing the public react to the installation. During the grand reveal, we flew to the United Arab Emirates — and what we experienced was unforgettable.
Hundreds of people from around the world gathered to admire the towering infernos, mesmerized by the swirling double vortices. Children, adults, hotel staff, contractors — everyone stopped to gaze, snap selfies, and share the moment. The sense of wonder was universal.
It’s one thing to design a fire feature of this scale. It’s another to see how deeply it moves people.
Fire as a Design Element
In large-format architecture, focal points matter. They anchor the energy of a room and shape how guests interact with the environment. A massive, spinning HaloFire installation doesn’t just illuminate a space — it gives it a heartbeat.
Whether you're designing a hotel, restaurant, resort, or luxury home, large-scale flame features add:
- Atmosphere
- Movement
- Warmth
- Identity
- A reason for people to stop and remember
When you want fire to become an architectural statement, our team can bring your vision to life — anywhere in the world, at any scale.
