Shadwell Estate

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.
