Lighting Design
Light, shaped with intent
Great lighting is felt before it is noticed. It draws the eye, softens a room at dusk, and makes a home feel alive after dark. Our design service turns architecture into atmosphere — balancing brightness, warmth and shadow so every space performs beautifully and effortlessly.
Our design process
Every project begins with how a space will be lived in, then works backwards to the fittings. Using professional photometric software, we model real light levels before a single fixture is installed — so what you see in design is what you experience at night.
Discover
We learn how each room is used, the mood you want, and how the home should feel from outside after dark.
Design
Layers of ambient, task and accent light are planned around the architecture, furniture and sightlines.
Model
DIALux photometric calculations confirm real lux levels in every zone before anything is ordered.
Deliver
A complete fixture schedule, circuit plan and control strategy, ready for your electrician to install.
DIALux lux level plans
These DIALux studies map calculated illuminance across the home and grounds. Cooler tones show gentle, ambient light; warmer greens and yellows mark task-lit zones — proof that every area is lit to purpose before installation begins.
Whole-of-home lux study — Te Arai
A false-colour illuminance map of the residence and grounds. Low-level ambient light throughout, with focused accents picking out feature elements — a restrained scheme that uses darkness as deliberately as light.
Architectural night render — Lot 43, Te Arai
A 3D visualisation of the design at night. Recessed downlights graze the walls while the interior glows softly through full-height glazing, previewing how the home will read from the landscape after dark.
Living & kitchen lighting layout
The technical fixture plan for the open-plan living and kitchen zones. Each fitting is positioned and circuited around the joinery, island and seating so light falls precisely where it is needed for both task and atmosphere.
Bring this level of design to your project
Every home is different, so every lighting design is priced individually. Share your plans and we'll prepare a tailored proposal.
