Architectural lighting makes a building’s form, material and rhythm legible after dark. In a successful project, the spatial experience created by light matters more than the luminaire itself.
Seven foundations of good design
Layer ambient, task and accent light; prioritise key architectural features; match colour temperature to materials; control glare with concealed positions and precise optics; reduce light pollution; create control scenes; and plan maintenance access early.
Calculation and mock-ups
Visualisation communicates the concept, while photometric calculation verifies performance. A mock-up reveals the real effect on materials and supports confident decisions before installation.
