Overview
As part of the Peabody IMPROVE program, the new lighting of Shadwell Estate focuses on giving its residents a new and improved outdoor experience.
The estate, which was previously poorly illuminated using floodlights, has undergone a complete transformation and is the first Peabody estate to introduce a catenary lighting system.
The lighting of the two playgrounds is delivered through a combination of lighting columns and a catenary system in order to maximise the useable area for play.
Accent lighting to the main entrances, lighting integrated into wayfinding signage and uplighting to trees has helped create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors and introduced a new approach to lighting for social housing estates.
