Jackalope Hotel
Illuminating Australia’s best hotel
Jackalope is an award-winning Australian hotel, redefining luxury accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula and offering L&T an opportunity to collaborate on a truly unique lighting project.
Designed by Carr Design Group, and brought to life by master builder VCON in collaboration with Wood & Grieve Engineers, Jackalope Hotel has been conceived through a collaboration between some of Australia’s most renowned creatives. Equal parts bold, daring and opulent, this uniquely designed hotel is re-imagining the definition of luxury.
Iconic, creative lighting supplied by Lights & Tracks
The iconic entry features a 7-metre tall sculpture of a mythical Jackalope, lit from underneath with continuous light to create a floating halo effect. We added additional uplighting, utilising an adjustable high output traffic-able in-ground luminaire to allow for fine tuning and onsite commissioning by the artist.
The "floating" cellar is a feature that greets you the moment you step through the door. From 3D renders, through to construction, L&T collaborated with all parties to ensure this technically complex brainchild of Carr Architects was taken from concept to real life.
The signature corridor is dimly lit by strip LED lighting, leading to guests rooms where architectural ceilings are highlighted with warm cove lighting. No stone was left unturned throughout this hotel and credit must be given to Carr Design Group for showcasing the possibilities of true luxury lighting.
