Entry Description

Lighting and mirrors are a tricky combination.The principle idea was accentuating the canopy dynamic form.The solution uses low glare downlights, contained within an architectural channel detail.This integrated approach resolves both the lighting for a public circulation and reveals the undulating canopy surface by illuminating the surfaces which are reflected in the mirrored finish.The Landscape is enhanced by the reflection of the surrounding trees up lights. Sculptural poles provide a soft indirect lighting to the pathways, while spike lights reveal the landscape textures and colours.
