L2 is one of the first areas to be redeveloped in line with the new masterplan. The development takes a sensitive approach to heritage structures and includes them within the new residential areas. Visual comfort has been a key criteria for the lighting design which incorporates state of the art lighting controls within historic lanterns and contemporary path lighting luminaires.
A custom shade was developed for the street lights which will be rolled out across the wider development area in the coming years. Lighting within the entrances of the residential units seek to blur the boundary between inside and outside space and optimize legibility.
