Design Philosophy
Our mission is to
enhance architecture through outstanding lighting design,
to improve the quality of life of those who experience our designs
and to present creative ways to help our clients realize their
visions.
Lighting design
is a creative extension of architecture by manipulating
illumination to improving visibility and complementing form, shape
and color. The medium of light is "invisible" until it strikes an
object. It is the creation and implementation of these invisible
patterns of light that gives the lighting "artist" an advantage over
other design disciplines.
Lighting is a
powerful tool - it can be critical in
fostering spatial awareness and fundamental to interpreting
architectural form. It can make a space more intimate or expand it
beyond its boundaries. Light can reinforce feelings of reverence or
heighten levels of excitement and festivity. It can establish moods
and manipulate attitudes. It is light that reveals the world around
us and enhances our experiences within it.
- People
should look and feel good in a spaces we design.
- The lighting
mood should be consistent with the use, function and design of
the space.
- The design
should incorporate the potential for change - change in mood,
function, season and time of day.
- The design
should be the most effective solution for the cost.
- The design
should be installed by craftsmen with equipment that is
available and dependable.
- The design
should be easy for the client to use and maintain.
- The design
should withstand the test of time.
