How we work
How we add perfect lighting to
your world.

Start
Your wishes and ambitions are our starting point. Together we formulate the objectives. And if desired, we hold a survey among users to get their preferences out.
We inventory the space, size of the project, challenges and opportunities. Is there a schedule of requirements? And what is the budget and timing?

Design
With the information collected and any additional research into lighting solutions, we sketch the first design ideas and create a mood board. In addition, we determine the guidelines and design rules to be used. Together this forms the lighting concept; the basis for the lighting design.
This shows the essence of the lighting design. We create a visual representation with the light effects, points, and colors. In 2D or 3D. With both a proposal for the luminaires and a budgetary cost estimate. After discussing the preliminary design, we will include comments, feedback and additional wishes in the final design.
We detail the lighting design for each space or room. This elaboration consists of: lighting calculations, drawings, plans, system diagrams, a list of materials and a detailed cost estimate.

Realization
From different scenes, control via interactive software or scripting, to gobo projections and video content. We create everything necessary for optimal control of the lighting installation.
We support the implementation of the project where necessary. For example, we are the point of contact for the architect and the installer and we provide purchasing advice to guarantee the best price and quality. We also support the installer in commissioning the lighting.
