News from Macau
H
ere in Macau the big news this summer was the opening of the Apple Store in Sands Cotai Central on June 29th with a first of its kind innovative glass stone facade. Designed by Foster + Partners and Apple and manufactured in Switzerland, the five glazed layers integrated with thin layers of stone, creates a translucent luminescent cube providing a warm “paper lantern” glow. Lighthouse membership in Macau is in healthy state, up from last year, which is testament to the health of the construction sector in Macau, as well as the continued concern of members to ensure site safety remains a priority and those injured in construction related injuries are financially supported.
