Also, YOY, a Ukrainian restaurant and cultural hub in Dubai, won in the Interior Architectural Illumination category. One of the key features that we have implemented is a media projection on the wall, where we convey basic values and ethnic codes with visual images that are close to every Ukrainian.

Using different lighting principles from the inside, we projected the silhouettes of shadows from the twigs onto the floor.
