"Inspiring spatial creations are the result of seamless integration of lighting with architecture and vision. It is as simple as that."
Frank
I create unique lit spaces that are appealing and welcoming by specifying an appropriate lighting fixture and lamp combination, directing its proper placement to ensure its intended function, and affording it the required degree of direct control for its predicted usage. The manner in which those objectives are communicated to others on the design team involve the following:
- Conceptual lighting design services for the interior and building mounted exterior lighting
- Provide options for the owner supplied decorative lighting fixtures
- Design and specify corresponding lighting control system
- Provide lighting layouts on background drawings
- Provide corresponding fixture schedule and fixture cut sheets
- Provide color images of decorative fixture options
- Provide a lighting control schedule, control layout for the lighting control system
- Provide fine-tuning of the lighting control system’s initial scenes and set-up
- Provide final aim & focus work on site.
Good lighting is different from other systems in one's home or office. It is a blend of both science and art, of both function and aesthetics, of both economy and elegance. The decisions that are made along the way are more similar to the ones facing a consumer choosing a new car than of one buying the lumber to build a home or office, yet too often the decisions made are more indicative of buying lumber by the truckload. What kind, what wattage, and how many of them? "Them" being a euphemism for the single type or style of lights that the contractor is supposed to go out and buy. Good lighting need not always be more costly, but steps should be taken to ensure that it is always most appropriate for the application, similar to the collection flooring types in a home or office, if you will.
