A retail refurbishment where the lighting does the wayfinding — floating islands and linear lines that guide shopper flow.

As part of the Firefly Point of View team, I contributed to the lighting design for the Sunshine Plaza Shopping Centre redevelopment. I worked on the project as an intermediate lighting designer.

Floating islands and linear lines

The team developed a custom solution built on two elements: floating islands of light, and linear lighting lines. Together they guide shopper flow through the centre while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the space, so the lighting is doing circulation work and decorative work at the same time.

A navigable environment

This strategic approach created a welcoming and navigable environment that enriches the overall shopping experience. In retail, legibility and atmosphere are often treated as separate problems; here a single lighting language addresses both.
