Hidden behind the bustle of Westfield London is a lesser-known area few ever see — the shopping centre’s private nature reserve. Though it isn’t open to the public, this green space plays a critical role in Westfield’s safety infrastructure, forming part of the building’s emergency escape network.

Nu Electrics was appointed to design and install a new emergency lighting system for this unique environment. The challenge was to integrate essential safety lighting into natural surroundings without compromising the area’s visual or ecological integrity. Working closely with Westfield’s facilities team, the installation ensures visibility and compliance in all conditions, while remaining subtle enough to blend into the reserve’s landscaping.

This project is a great example of how functional systems can be designed with care and creativity - combining safety, sustainability, and aesthetic sensitivity in equal measure.
