Employing Our Design Philosophy
Each project starts with the discovery of our client’s vision and goals, use of spaces, and visual needs that will guide the lighting design and electrical engineering. Our team works closely with the client, architects, and engineers to understand the aesthetic intent of atmosphere, form, material, and texture, as well as the technical function of the design. We develop multiple design ideas and options to compare and evaluate.
Laying Out Options
To refine our design, we analyze the design options to study the lighting quality, energy-usage, aesthetics, cost, and maintenance. The preferred option may be rendered using color-graphics to assist the client in understanding the entirety of the design.
Collaborating
The quality of our lighting and electrical designs rely on the clarity and accuracy of our plans, details, and specifications. We pay attention to the details and collaborate with other disciplines to create coordinated and constructible documents. Every project is reviewed internally for quality control and verification that comments have been addressed and resolved.
Seeking Feedback
We follow through on our projects from concept through construction and post-occupancy, ensuring that our designs are built to the quality that they are designed for. With intensive reviews of shop drawings, contractor submittals, and site visits, we keep the contractors accountable for the quality of their work. When issues arise on site, we collaborate with the contractor, design team, manufacturers, and client to develop practical and acceptable solutions.
