About the Studio · Since 2010

We work with light as an architectural material.

The Studio

We believe in light and its power. We are designers who work with light as an integral architectural material and have been creating effective, innovative and environmental lighting solutions since 2010. Our design studio was formed to complement the architecture and provide comfortable, engaging atmospheres and breathtaking solutions for our clients who appreciate the fine lighting.

We believe that designing with light is about nature, architecture and people — it is to design a space for our senses. Our portfolio includes projects currently in the process of being LEED certified.

Our ProcessConcept → Commissioning
Phase 01

Schematic & Conceptual Design

Knowing that the image of a place is power, we begin in close coordination with our clients to give shape to the lighting program and concepts — expressed through words, sketches and images, all with the goal of enhancing the architecture.

Phase 02

Design Development

Concepts turn into detailed design drawings. Active involvement from all levels of our staff integrates the best solution for the needs of the project, and a careful suggestion of lighting equipment takes place.

Phase 03

Construction Documentation

We create a final package used as a guide for the installation and operation of the lighting system — final design drawings, specification of lighting equipment, and associated documents.

Phase 04

Construction Administration

We assist the construction team through on-site meetings, design revisions, final lighting adjustments, focusing, and supervision of the lighting control system to guarantee a successful project.
