The Cliffs, Nelson, New Zealand

Situated at The Cliffs in Nelson, this project epitomizes the seamless collaboration of modern architecture and expert lighting design to create a balance between light and shadow. This project showcases how Switch Lighting’s innovative solutions can transform a modern architectural masterpiece into a beautifully lit, functional living space that harmonizes with its stunning surroundings. The result is a functionally lit home with an elegant and comforting ambiance.

Lighting Design Concept:

Throughout the property, the architectural range of Switch Lighting luminaires is controlled by the DALI smart lighting control system. The architect, in close collaboration with Switch Lighting Consultants and the lighting design team, crafted a design that perfectly aligns with the owner’s vision. The strategic placement of various Switch Lighting ultra-low glare products on the outer perimeter of each space across the two-level home created a uniquely lit environment. This approach highlights the architectural elements and natural materials while preventing reflections on the full-frontal glass walls, ensuring the extraordinary view over Tasman Bay remains unobstructed.
