Our capabilities

Core expertise

Lighting concept and design direction

Lighting concept and design direction

We establish a clear lighting concept that defines the mood, atmosphere and visual language of each project. Working closely with the architecture and interior character, we consider how light can shape perception, enhance key features, and create an experience that feels purposeful, cohesive and true to the overall design intent.

Lighting planning

Lighting planning

Our lighting design service translates the creative direction into carefully coordinated lighting layouts that support function, circulation and spatial hierarchy. We consider visual comfort, technical requirements, architectural details and the positioning of key elements to ensure the lighting works seamlessly within the space while maintaining the intended atmosphere.

Fixture selection

Fixture selection

We recommend fixtures selected specifically for each project, considering performance, appearance, efficiency, maintenance and budget alongside the overall design concept. From discreet architectural solutions to feature lighting, we evaluate every specification for how it integrates with the space and contributes to a considered and enduring lighting experience.

Project coordination

Project coordination

We work closely with interior designers, architects, consultants, contractors and clients throughout the project to ensure the lighting design translates accurately into the built environment. From resolving technical details to reviewing samples and coordinating on site, we help maintain the design intent while addressing practical requirements through to completion.

A clear process from concept to completion

Our lighting consultation services follow a five-stage process that turns design intent into a coordinated, practical and buildable lighting scheme.

Stage 1

Concept & schematic design

Concept & schematic design

We establish the project’s lighting vision and design strategy by considering its functional requirements, architectural character, desired atmosphere, energy performance and control needs.

Stage 2

Design development

Design development

The approved concept is developed into a coordinated lighting scheme through calculations, simulations, fixture selection, control planning and detailed lighting layouts, working closely with the wider design team.

Stage 3

Tender documentation

Tender documentation

We prepare the drawings, fixture specifications, schedules and technical information required for accurate tendering, procurement, coordination and construction.

Stage 4

Construction administration

Construction administration

During construction, we review shop drawings and product submissions, conduct site inspections and lighting tests, and work with contractors to resolve installation-related matters.

Stage 5

Commissioning & handover

Commissioning & handover

Once installation is complete, we oversee the calibration, focusing and programming of the lighting system before assisting with the final documentation and project handover.
