Linton & Kay Galleries
Project Outline
Linton & Kay Galleries is located within one of Perth’s architecturally iconic and historic buildings, the Perth Technical College.
With the project’s location came the responsibility of being respectful of the existing heritage building fabric. With a high profile gallery project, came the challenge of creating designed insertions that met the programmatic requirements.
Lighting plays a fundamental role and needed to meet all of the clients requirements in terms of colour rendering, flexibility, lamp life, energy savings and aesthetics. The selected product, iGuzzini’s Primopiano Projectors, designed by Renzo Piano, is particularly suitable for art where light must enhance the quality of the objects being exhibited. This project is the first in Australia to feature these architectural light fittings.
These compact, new-generation LEDs combine efficiency with low energy consumption and great light spectrum properties. As a result the Primopiano perfectly suits a project such as the Linton & Kay Galleries.
