An inviting warmth that begins at the garden path and continues through to the living spaces inside. The lighting design — powered by Switch Lighting’s Intelligent Controls — creates a seamless flow between exterior and interior, blending craftsmanship, technology, and atmosphere.
Guiding Light – The Exterior
Path Light 1
Along the curved garden path, Switch Lighting’s Path Light 1 luminaires cast a soft amber hue that gently defines the way forward. Designed for durability and low-glare illumination, these IP67-rated fittings enhance the texture of stone and foliage without overpowering the landscape. The black trim disappears into the background, allowing the warm light to take centre stage — a subtle yet powerful design detail.
Pillar Light 1
The main entrance is lined with Switch Lighting Pillar Light 1 luminaires, crafted from pure copper with solid copper caps that will gracefully patina over time. Set against hardwood timber, their warm amber glow complements the natural materials, creating a timeless, welcoming entry. Technically refined yet visually organic, these fittings reflect both performance and artistry in outdoor lighting.
Stepping inside, lighting continues the story of comfort and connection. In the living and dining spaces, Switch Lighting’s Colour Tunable luminaires allow the homeowners to tailor their environment — from cosy evenings to vibrant gatherings — all at the touch of a button through Intelligent Controls.
Atmosphere Within – The Interior
Décor Fixed 1
The raised fireplace, framed by a striking tiled feature wall, becomes a dramatic focal point with Switch Lighting Décor Fixed 1 luminaires. The copper inner trim ties seamlessly into the home’s earthy palette, while Colour Tunable technology allows the light to shift from a soft amber glow to a crisp white tone. The deeply recessed design keeps glare to a minimum, maintaining a sense of visual comfort and refinement.
ZELA Offset Deep Tilt
Above the dining bench, Switch Lighting ZELA Offset Deep Tilt luminaires provide focused, adjustable illumination that enhances both function and form. With their 360° gimbal and low-glare optics, they highlight the Māori carvings and artwork surrounding the space. Tunable colour temperature lets the homeowners transform the atmosphere — warm and intimate for relaxed dinners or brighter and cooler for entertaining.



Designing with Light
From the first step outside to the heart of the home, every element of lighting in this project enhances how the space feels and flows. With Switch Lighting’s Intelligent Controls and New Zealand–made luminaires, lighting becomes more than illumination — it becomes part of the architecture, shaping mood, warmth, and experience.
