As a key contributor to the spectacular decorative theming of the Venetian
Sands Casino complex in Macau, Gillespie has earned widespread acclaim for problem solving, professionalism and flawless workmanship in producing vast areas of the highest quality interior GRG decorative finishes.
The Venetian resort, located on the Cotai
Strip, is a remarkable feat of design, engineering and construction. Large enough to hold ninety Boeing 747 jumbo jets, the complex offers a catalogue of impressive statistics. Boasting the world’s biggest casino (some 183,000m2 of gambling space - about five times the size of a top Vegas gaming floor), the resort also provides 3,000 hotel suites, 488,000m2 of retail space, a 15,000-seat auditorium, and a 365,000m2 conference centre.
We have perfectly joined sections, miles of flawless cornice, ornate light cove moulding with perfectly timed enrichments, terminating smoothly at every transition, huge chandelier medallions that exceeded artistic expectations, completed in record time and at highly competitive pricing… thank the heavens for Gillespie.

Built on a grand scale, the real impact of the resort lies in the design of its breathtakingly opulent interior. Replicating the beauty of Renaissance Venice with ornate mouldings and lavish decoration, the interior also features a ‘piazza’ in the
Venetian style. Architectural canals, gondolas and singing gondoliers under a painted blue sky all add to the charm of the experience.
Globally recognised as a supplier able to deliver practical, precise craftsmanship on a grand scale and able to work effectively alongside international design teams,
Gillespie were commissioned to deliver the highly complex decorative features and embellishments for six packages in the resort.
