Detailed case studies
How we think, test and document.
These expanded examples illustrate the consultant’s role behind the final image: interpreting architecture, establishing criteria, testing options and translating the chosen strategy into coordinated information.
Retail case study
Kia Showroom
Design challenge
The architecture uses a strong timber ceiling and wall language. The lighting needed to strengthen this geometry without competing with the vehicles, brand elements or customer-facing displays.
Lighting response
- Continuous linear lighting follows the architectural ribs to create direction and visual rhythm.
- Display and vehicle zones receive focused, higher-output layers while circulation remains visually quieter.
- Warm architectural light balances the timber finishes, with neutral display light maintaining accurate product colour.
Consultant analysis
Typical studies include calculation grids at vehicle and circulation level, reflected-glare checks on bodywork, beam-angle testing, colour-temperature coordination and emergency-light integration. Control zoning separates presentation, cleaning, event and after-hours scenes.
Typical deliverables
Concept narrative, ceiling coordination, lighting layout, fixture schedule, scene schedule, calculation report, details and aiming notes.
Public realm case study
Community Bridge
Design challenge
The bridge required safe, legible movement without introducing bright columns, glare or visual disturbance to the surrounding night environment.
Lighting response
- Light is integrated into the balustrade, keeping the source below normal viewing angles.
- A warm, continuous layer defines the crossing and reinforces the structure’s material character.
- Low-level distribution limits upward spill and preserves the dark sky.
Consultant analysis
The assessment considers maintained horizontal illuminance, uniformity, facial recognition, source visibility, handrail-detail tolerances, waterproofing, driver location, thermal performance and maintenance access. Boundary spill and ecological sensitivity are reviewed where applicable.
Typical deliverables
Photometric study, section details, coordinated balustrade interface, IP/IK requirements, cable routing, control schedule and site aiming/verification record.
Façade case study
Private Building
Design challenge
The design needed a recognisable night-time signature using the building’s existing geometry, while avoiding excessive brightness and visible equipment.
Lighting response
- Linear accents trace selected horizontal and vertical edges rather than outlining every façade element.
- Hierarchy is created by reinforcing the corner and upper silhouette.
- Mounting locations are aligned with joints and architectural recesses to reduce daytime visibility.
Consultant analysis
Façade luminance, surface brightness, viewing distance, source spacing and potential hotspots are studied. Environmental-zone limits, spill light, driver visibility, access strategy and control curfew are also considered.
Typical deliverables
Night-time concept views, façade elevations, luminance study, mounting details, cable routes, control scenes, product specification and mock-up criteria.
Hospitality case study
Private Resort
Design challenge
The public areas required warmth, intimacy and visual richness while maintaining operational light levels for reception, circulation and service activities.
Lighting response
- Concealed perimeter light lifts the timber ceiling and establishes the primary ambient layer.
- Decorative pendants and joinery lighting create human-scale focal points.
- Downlights are limited and precisely located to support task areas, artwork and planting.
Consultant analysis
We review colour rendering, skin appearance, dimming behaviour, reflective surfaces, decorative fixture output, emergency-light coordination and scene transitions from daytime arrival to late-night operation.
Typical deliverables
Room-by-room lighting intent, reflected ceiling plans, decorative schedule, control scenes, calculations, details, sample review, mock-up and final focusing.
