An architectural lighting job by ECC.

The Auckland Historic Chief Post Office, a category 1 historic building, recently re-opened after a significant refurbishment, in which the exterior lighting was replaced with iGuzzini fittings Trick 180, Linealuce Compact, Underscore Inout & Palco Inout. 

Preserving the heritage, and returning it to its former glory, the lighting job emphasises period features, landmark presence and the historic stature of the design. 

Salmond Reed Architects.

In collaboration with Sonja Hawkins Design, Rufus Knight worked with owners Josh & Helen Emett to create a dining space marked by intimacy and sophistication.

Referencing the traditional elegance of the building's history as the 'Grand Hotel' of Auckland, taking timeless materiality, and employing contemporary habitation, their generous use of rich tones set the scene for one of Auckland's most notable dining experiences.
