Bespoke Lighting Solutions Auckland

Architectural Case study

Bingham Residence

Enclosed by neighbouring structures, this residential apartment and gallery space was missing windows on all four sides. Our brief was to create a bright space that felt like it was illuminated by daylight during the day with flexibility to turn into an art gallery or dining space at night.

Event case study

Multiplex

As part of a design festival we were asked to manage the lighting for a 2 week pop-up department store with Tom Dixon. Department brands included Aston Martin, Resident (NZ), and Sony. The brief was to create a department store of the future housing technological and design brands.

N Hotel

This playful, colourful hotel lobby space has several weird and wonderful pieces reflecting the high-tech, connected cities of today in a playful manner. Our custom pieces offer bright colours with changing hues of light with dynamic diffused and accent lighting.

All Bespoke Commercial Experiences Hospitality Residential Work in Progress

St Heliers House

Concept design for a new residential project in Auckland

Kingfisher Mall

The local history of needle and thread manufacturing the use of linear and circular light lines which made up the general lighting layer. We used coloured effects throughout the day; a blue closing scene reminiscent of a night, street side shopping experience makes the signs pop in neonesque colour at the end of the day. Listed mosaic artwork is grazed with concealed light.

Residence Corridors

Offering several unique solutions for the refurbishment of these existing private apartment corridors

Maslows

Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs principles this project included a restaurant and bar, working area, gymnasium and relaxation zones. Our lighting solutions were tailored to each area to enhance well being through all spaces.

Printworks House

This industrial style refurbishment included rough brick finishes and metal surfaces. We detailed lighting between the old and new to separate the two parts of the project and give emphasis and used minimal accent lighting to provide texture and pops of light.

Buchanan Street

This refurbishment of a traditional cottage is anything but regular. We were asked to provide a lighting solution that worked on low voltage solar power with voice activation and complex controls.

Green House

A church turned into an international table tennis venue, why not? Without altering the architecture our concealed lighting effects allows for flexible scenes including weddings, international table tennis tournaments and rentable work areas. By uplighting the ornate, bright ceiling the reflected light fills the hall with light.

Front Door Concept

We offered these sketched ideas to back up the stair lighting leading to this front door

Hilton BM

This seaside hotel is complimented by a fresh and invigorating lighting design. We used a wash of light to provide a background feeling of lightness in all spaces. The Hotel includes a relaxing spa and swimming complex and a skybar with lighting that enables uninterrupted views out over the city and seaside.

Havelock North House

Concept design for a new residential project in Havelock North

Bronze Hexagon

This bespoke, bronze hexagonal up and downwards pendant was created to match interior design finishes and to project light up to the low ceiling

Villa Refurbishment

We're balancing the traditional design with a contemporary spin in this high end property

Manitoba

This busy location is both pick up and go style retail and a day/night time dining facility. We integrated lighting with soft circular motifs. Warm colour temperatures accent the timber grain and the backlit bar oozes warmth onto the street.

BIL Interiors

High-End commercial space based on the principles of metalwork and forgery

Muriwai Valley

This simple refurbishment replaces big halogen downlights with discrete LED replacements. We made a point of difference by making the living area one shade warmer than the rest of the house and introduced one focussed downlights to the centre and custom glass pendants.

Shadow Art

We were asked to provide a unique wall light that allowed this artist to showcase shadow art. Our range of concepts allowed the development of a product that was unique as the art itself.

N Hotel

Tube

Inspired by the fluorescent lamp, this LED based tube houses two diffusers to soften and disperse light evenly throughout the room. As a wall mounted or suspended option and warm finishes the design brings a timeless look to the room with sophistication.

Herne Bay Apartment

A high end residential project in central auckland. Moody dark finishes and moments of warm light accentuate different textures and materials creating a dramatic space that is inviting and unique.

Bingham Residence

Sun

Not your standard approach to lighting a large atrium space, our Sun installation basks the area in warm light. Complemented by lighting to the adjacent wall, the sun effect pumps out waves of moving that sets as the day comes to a close. At five metres across we backlit a printed fabric with dynamically controlled LED chips in yellow and red pixels.

Princes Wharf Apartments

Carlton Gore Road

Facade lighting and sustainability at its best with this Greenstar rated building

Marriott RP

This high end refurbishment took inspiration from natural lighting effects from the local park. We designed lighting solutions at different directions, colour temperatures and intensities that change throughout the day and seasons. Backlit shelving and ceilings create a cloud of light in each room, complemented by leafy shadow effects inside and out.

Pennington Warehouse

A funky office space designed for and architecture and engineering firm located in refurbished warehouse

Viaduct Harbour

We were asked to provide several unusual concepts for the illumination of these prominent facades in downtown Auckland. Our concepts included some out there and more traditional approaches which are being developed in line with the Auckland Unitary Plan.

Kaimata Residence

Soft airy residential concept

A Frame

The lighting design introduces two layers which define the architecture by creating vertical lines which draw the eye up the ceiling and a horizontal uplight which follows the window frames across the space, providing both upwards ambience and downwards task lighting.

Visconti

By day this lobby/bar/restaurant space is lit with diffused neutral colour temperatures. At night the space is flooded with amber lighting which removes colour and makes the space super warm and relaxing.

das Modular

Our client wanted a modular set of technical instruments to illuminate task areas and artwork with a soft diffused lighting option. Our rod and suspended mounting gives flexibility and provides architectural lighting with a design edge.

Grid Pendant

With a Japanese inspired spin this large chandelier includes up and downwards lighting in a rigid modular layout. We concealed lighting into the pierced cylinders with the use of honeycomb filters to protect view of the light source from across the room.

Marriott HR

This event space refurbishment in a deep plan, low ceiling height space provided some challenges. We used lighting to accent the vertical surfaces and ceilings to provide a daylight effect within the depths of the space. The geometric design motif is continued to custom, hexagonal light fixtures which provide random patches of light.

Oxford Museum

This listed building included an ornate ironwork structure. Magnetised accent lighting, mounted concealed above the capitals, was applied to the beautiful ceiling and directed lighting down to the displays. At night hidden feature lighting between the columns creates ambience for any event.
