Project – Hamilton Zoo

Hamilton Zoo first opened in 1969 and is the main zoological garden in Hamilton, an inland city 120km south of Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand. 

The Hamilton City Council commissioned architects Wraight & Associates to redesign an area of landscape, which included pedestrian pathways and under covered areas. The Hamilton Astronomical Society Observatory is neighbouring the Zoo, which lighting designer Josh Duckkett had to consider as part of the design. 

PRAGUE bollards illuminate the sealed pathways through the zoo landscape. A combination of LADOR and LEEDS wall lights provide lighting to the canopy over the footpath. The compact fittings are discretely mounted within the metal framework.
