FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions.
We know every project is unique, and you might have some questions before getting started.
We specialize in hospitality, luxury retail, high-end residential, and institutional projects.
The sooner, the better. Once the architecture reaches schematic design, even at a preliminary level, it is essential to begin the lighting design process. Early involvement allows us to develop a cohesive lighting concept aligned with the architecture, anticipate technical requirements, and stay ahead of the project schedule. Lighting should be integrated from the start, not treated as an afterthought.
A lighting designer brings a creative and experiential layer that goes beyond technical compliance or equipment selection. While architects shape space, electrical engineers ensure systems function safely, and audiovisual consultants focus on technology, we focus on how light and shadow define atmosphere, emotion, and perception. Our role bridges artistry and engineering. We translate architectural intent into a layered lighting narrative that enhances materials, form, and movement—ensuring that what is envisioned is precisely what is delivered.
