Architectural Lighting Design

Architectural lighting design transforms a space or building from ordinary to extraordinary. It’s the art of illuminating buildings and structures to enhance their aesthetic appeal and functionality, while impacting their surroundings.

We combine creativity with technical expertise to transform architecture after dark.

  • Architectural Features

    With architectural lighting design, we accentuate a building's unique elements. We highlight structural forms, textures, and materials, transforming ordinary facades into eye-catching nighttime scenes. With techniques like uplighting, wall grazing, and silhouetting we emphasise the architectural details of a building or space. By carefully placing fixtures and adjusting beam angles, lighting creates focal points, interesting shadows, depth, and reveals the building's character.

  • Less Is More

    We find that the principle of less is more creates the most striking results. By selectively illuminating key features and creating contrast, a more sophisticated effect can be achieved. Strategic use of shadows and darkness can create intrigue, depth, and a sense of mystery. Besides that, this approach reduces light pollution, glare, saves energy, and less luminaires are needed. That’s five wins.

  • Energy Efficiency

    Energy efficiency is a crucial consideration to us in modern lighting design. Using LED technology and smart controls minimize energy consumption without compromising aesthetic goals. Motion sensors and timers ensure lights are only active when you want to, while dimming capabilities allow for adjustable light levels. Efficient fixture placement and precise beam control reduce wasted light and improves the overall performance of the system.
