THE CLIENT
Animates is passionate about providing the best pet supplies, pet care and services for all pets. Foremost to this is providing an excellent retail experience for customers, and the highest standard of care for pets requiring vet services.
Ecopoint has worked with Animates since 2014 providing lighting plans and LED lighting product for retrofits and new fitouts in more than 30 stores around New Zealand.
THE OBJECTIVE
Animates Palmerston North opened in an existing building and required a full lighting fitout to meet the Animates brand standard. This included a site-specific lighting plan, plus fulfilment of all LED lighting products. The lighting plan was based on Animates’ design standard for the lighting outputs in each area of the retail, clinic and back of house zones – 24 separate zones in total.
