Alongside our core lighting competence we have in-depth interior design, construction, cabling and project management expertise, so we can make sure that the right people have the right information at the right time to keep moving your project forward to a successful conclusion. Most of all, we love working with light. We have a passion for enhancing and transforming wonderful spaces with light.
Creating inspirational lighting schemes for bespoke spaces
Our team create inspirational lighting schemes for bespoke homes (ranging from new builds to stately homes), prestigious hotels, bars and restaurants, stunning churches and fine art collections.
We work closely with clients, architects and project design teams. The majority of our business comes through word of mouth and old clients returning. We are an integral part of project teams and the end success of a build or renovation.
We run a regular programme of CPD for architects’ practices across the country and are often invited to run Masterclasses at national building shows. We frequently feature in the national building and design press and were very proud to make the ITN News with our work at Hever Castle.
