The Lighthouse is a just that – a house filled with light. Its exterior takes the form of a traditional 1950s New Zealand home, based on a house on the Eden-Roskill border. The exterior colours reference the site and environment on Queens Wharf and the space between the sea and the sky.
Inside reveals something different and unexpected. The English Channel, a polished stainless steel sculpture of Captain James Cook, occupies part of the void. Cook is contemplative. He faces the north-west and the light constellations dance off his highly polished surface. (see spillover album for inside)
