Melrose Central Dining Precinct is a Chinatown-themed hospitality environment where lighting is designed to reinforce atmosphere, support wayfinding and sit comfortably within a richly layered interior. Ayuh Studio is delivering the architectural lighting design, developing a scheme that enhances ambience without competing with the character of the space.

The lighting strategy focuses on visual comfort, safe circulation and a strong sense of mood, carefully avoiding glare and over-lighting throughout the precinct. Balancing design expression with technical rigour, Ayuh Studio is undertaking compliance calculations to support code compliance across the project and ensure the scheme performs both experientially and technically.

The result is a considered lighting outcome that contributes to the precinct’s identity while supporting usability, comfort and project delivery.
