LIGHTPLAY, ROYAL TERRACE GARDENS, TORQUAY LIGHTING DESIGN: MICHAEL GRUBB STUDIO CATEGORY: EXTERIOR
Lightplay is a new, permanent, lit interactive route along the seafront at Torquay in Devon. The overall lighting concept, devised by Michael Grubb Studio, is designed to encourage visitors to linger longer and enjoy the gardens after sunset. The main elements are step lighting, cliff floodlighting and bespoke, artist-designed columns.
Themes from nature, particularly reflecting Torbay’s Unesco Global Geopark
designation, and its exceptional geological and natural environments, were central to the creative concept.
With input from local residents, MGS collaborated with visual artist Anouk Mercier and Torquay Museum to develop the series of interactive lighting columns which line the lower pathway. The decorative themes were inspired by the museum’s collections, based on the work of founder William Pengelly, a 19th-century
geologist, and marine scientist Amelia Grifiths (1768–1858). The backlit, laser-cut forms of corals, seaweed, birds and butterflies, together with integrated projections of natural motifs, form beacons and pools of light on the walkway, creating playful, dynamic punctation points. The stairway is lit with a range of warm, bright colours, leading to a new viewing platform with impressive sea views.
