Energy effective design is our mantra.
As designers, we promote a positive vision of the future, based upon the belief that many of the environmental problems we face are design challenges. A successful project starts with a collaborative mind-set to achieve the highest quality environment and energy efficiency for owners through smart lighting design integration of daylight, electric light and controls.
Our designers collaborate closely with the architectural team on optimizing daylight, light pollution reduction, use of advanced lighting technologies and controls, and “energy effective” lighting design.
Our services are customized to the specific needs of our clients by creating healthier environments to work, live and play. |
