At LightForm, they thrive on lighting projects that are anything but ordinary. That’s why they are excited to introduce Unboring Projects, a new series where they spotlight the spaces that subvert convention, move the needle forward, and show what is possible when great design meets bold vision.

The CF Chinook Centre (more commonly known as Chinook Centre) was always destined to be a major destination point for Calgary. Opened in 1965, it is conveniently located near the city center and is only 20 minutes from Calgary International Airport. Over the years, it grew to become Calgary’s largest shopping mall with more than 250 stores and restaurants. Beyond providing a sublime shopping experience, Chinook Centre offers numerous dining options, including seven full-service restaurants, and fun entertainment options, including a 16-screen movie theatre with IMAX, a nostalgic handcrafted carousel, and a bowladrome for bowling enthusiasts. It is also well known for its special features that include a towering Albertosaurus, imaginative flying machines and a time capsule located at the center of the mall’s four-story rotunda. Despite an overall bleak forecast for shopping malls in both Canada and the U.S., Chinook Centre is thriving with numerous new and expanding tenants added just since late 2022.

That’s where Mac’s II Agencies’ expertise came in, helping to illuminate a space that sets the tone for refined living. Each decorative luminaire in the lobby was customized to align precisely with the client’s renderings, ensuring the final result matched the aesthetic envisioned.
