THE ONE APPROACH
We work closely with our clients, the design team, and the construction team from conceptual design to construction documentation continuing through construction and post occupancy to develop and implement a high quality lighting system. One that is creative, functional and balanced at the intersection of economics, human needs, and architecture. The lighting design should not only highlight interior and exterior architectural features but also create a safe, comfortable and stimulating environment for the end users to perform well in and enjoy spending time in.

Elements of high quality lighting include:

Human Needs
• visibility
• task performance
• visual comfort
• social communication
• mood and atmosphere
• health, safety, well being
• aesthetic judgment

Economics, energy efficiency and the environment
• installation
• maintenance
• operation
• energy
• environment

Architecture and other building or site related issues
• form
• composition
• style
• codes and standards
• safety and security
• daylighting
