Homes and apartments
Layered light for living: general, task, accent and the low night-time scene nobody remembers to ask for until they are living there.
Lighting design
Design that arrives with the drawings
We work alongside you and your architect from the reflected ceiling plan onward — so the lighting is part of the building, not something added once the ceiling is closed.
What you get
Documents your team can build from
Everything we issue is meant to be used by someone else: an architect coordinating a ceiling, an electrician pulling cable, an estimator pricing a package.
- Reflected ceiling plan with fixture positions and aiming
- Fixture schedule — make, model, finish, optic, colour temperature
- Beam-angle and illuminance calculations where they matter
- Control intent: groups, scenes, DALI lines and sensor locations
- Switching and dimming schedule for the electrical contractor
- Manufacturer data sheets collected in one place
Rooms that change through the day
Scenes that move from morning to evening service on a schedule, with accent light that keeps merchandise and finishes reading correctly.
Offices and studios
Comfortable levels and glare control on the desk, daylight harvesting on the perimeter, and tunable white where the day is long.
Designed for control
We design the control layer at the same time
A dimming scheme decided after the fixtures are chosen is a compromise. We choose fixtures, drivers and topology together, on a DALI-2 backbone, so the scenes you want are possible before anything is ordered.
Groups and scenes first
We agree how the room should look in each mode, then work backwards to the addressing, the driver count and the number of lines.
Driver and load planning
Bus power, line length and device count checked on paper, so commissioning is not the moment you discover the topology is wrong.
Room for change
Spare capacity on each line and a naming convention that still makes sense to someone reading it in five years.
Working with your architect
Where we plug in
1
Concept stage
Early enough to influence ceiling build-ups, cove details and where the drivers can live. This is the cheapest moment to get it right.
2
Design development
Fixture selection against the finishes and the daylight, coordinated with mechanical and structural in the ceiling void.
3
Tender and construction
A schedule the contractor can price line by line, and answers to RFIs while the job is running.
4
Commissioning
We set the scenes on site with the client in the room — the design is not finished until the light in the space is right.
Bring us in early
The best lighting decisions are made while the ceiling is still a line on a drawing. Send the plans and we will tell you what we would change.
