Overview

Following a successful temporary light installation event that drew interest and generated the needed funding, a permanent external event space was created in what was a parking lot.

LFB worked with the architects to create a successful design and flexible lighting scheme for the event space and new landscape area. Due to a very restricted budget the lighting design makes use of solar powered landscape lighting to minimise cabling and containment. Lighting to the event space serves a dual purpose to create a lantern for the community after dark as well as provide flexible functional lighting for events.

Following its completion, the space has been regularly used by the community for all types of events both by day and night.
