As part of Bristol Zoological Society’s ‘Strategy to 2035’ the decision was made to refurbish the Hollywood Mansion House building, to become the headquarters of the charity and its staff hub.
It is from this building that the Society’s team does so much to meet its vision of saving wildlife together – from inspiring visitors to Wild Place Project (home of the future Bristol Zoo), to working on conservation projects across four continents and delivering education sessions for students and schoolchildren.
The Society approached One Eighty Light to help deliver a lighting solution that would meet the needs of the organisation and its people, and that would be in keeping with the Mansion House’s listed status.
