Summary

We are proud to have provided the lighting design for the Saigon Welcome Arch, a stunning sculptural representation of the Vietnamese community’s contribution to Footscray. The arch takes the form of two Vietnamese cranes reaching out across the road to form a gateway, and our team ensured that it was beautifully lit at night with a series of gold uplights highlighting the gold and turning the arch into a glowing beacon. The lighting design accentuates the sculpture’s beauty and adds to the vibrancy of the surrounding area.
