Lighting Design
With over 30 years of experience in the design and analysis of both natural and artificial lighting, Lighting Analysts work closely with design teams throughout all RIBA design stages. Our approach maximises the use of daylight and integrates carefully considered lighting systems to enhance both performance and architectural appearance.
RIBA Stage 1 — Consultation & Design Briefing
We engage with the project team to review the proposed development, discuss client requirements, and define a clear brief for the lighting design.
RIBA Stage 2 — Concept Design
Working from the agreed brief and in collaboration with the wider design team, we prepare conceptual lighting ideas that complement the architectural vision and form the basis of the Concept Design.
RIBA Stage 3 — Design Development
Following approval of the Concept Design, we develop the proposals into a coordinated, buildable lighting scheme. During this stage, we test the design for technical feasibility and alignment with project budgets.
RIBA Stage 4 — Technical Design
We engineer the lighting scheme into a detailed, fully specified design, ensuring compliance with project requirements, relevant standards, and best practice guidance. Our deliverables include lighting specifications, CAD drawings, and technical details to support construction, installation, and commissioning.
