You spend months resolving volumes, materials, proportions and light. Then the building reaches the lighting stage, and all that careful work can be undone by a generic scheme that ignores the architecture it's meant to serve.

Lighting design is a separate specialism, and architects who bring in a lighting designer early see their intent carried through to the finished building. Many of our clients are introduced to us by their architect, and we've even worked on a few architects' own homes. We take that trust seriously.

Showing Your Work at Its Best

We make sure your clients have the right ambient and task lighting for every room. Beyond that, we highlight the architectural features you've built into the design: the textures, the volumes, the lines that guide movement through a space. Light is what reveals them, so we plan it to flatter your work rather than flatten it.

Architectural, Decorative, Bespoke and Custom Lighting, All in One Place

Our product knowledge of architectural and decorative lighting is unrivalled, so your clients won't miss out on lighting types and styles they didn't know existed.

Architectural lighting. Recessed spots, linear profiles, cove and façade lighting, chosen to blend seamlessly with your materials and structure while meeting lux, energy and compliance requirements.

Decorative lighting. Statement pendants, chandeliers and wall lights that act as the jewellery of the space, selected for scale, material and finish, so the interior ambience ties back to your architectural intent.

Bespoke and custom lighting. When nothing off the shelf matches your concept, we can create lighting designed for the space, whether that means a unique fitting, a custom finish or a feature piece scaled to a double-height void.

Because one team handles all three, the layers work together rather than competing.

Accurate Costs, Not Ballpark Estimates

We provide a detailed lighting and lighting controls plan and specification, so your clients can obtain an accurate quotation instead of a rough estimate that becomes the dreaded "extras" bill at the end of the project.

To get those numbers early, bring us in as soon as you can. It's almost never too early, and the ideal moment is when you've produced your Building Regulations drawings.

Freedom From Single-Supplier Limits

We have tried and tested suppliers who offer great products and fantastic service, but we specify from the whole market. Your clients won't be restricted to one range, whether or not it suits their project, which is what tends to happen when they ask a manufacturer for a lighting design. We frequently coordinate supply from more than 10 companies on a single project, so the right fitting is found for every location.
