Integrated Public Space Lighting – Te Rimutahi


After more than two decades of community advocacy, a previously underutilised site on Auckland’s iconic Ponsonby Road has been transformed into a vibrant new civic space: Te Rimutahi. Designed through a community-led process and funded by Auckland Council, the project brings a long-awaited public area to one of the city’s busiest and most densely populated suburbs.

Intelligent Environments was engaged by No Shock Electrical to provide the lighting control systems for the space, working alongside the project’s consulting engineers, BECA. The scope involved supporting both functional and ambient lighting elements across a mix of architectural, landscape, and public amenity zones – ensuring the lighting works seamlessly throughout the day and night.
