Lighting design, as with all collaborative processes, is most successful when the entire team is involved from beginning to end. With that in mind, Illumination Arts offers complete architectural lighting design services through all phases of the design and construction process.

With Illumination Arts on your team, you have all of these services available to you:
 

Developing lighting concepts and bringing them to fruition is part of a process that begins with an understanding of the unique requirements of each project and includes a collaborative and respectful working relationship with the entire design team. Illumination Arts provides full design services from Design Development through Construction Administration to ensure the successful completion of a project.
 

“A picture is worth a thousand words.”  Oftentimes, a lighting design can’t be as easily explained in words as it can in renderings or other types of visualizations.  IA can help the design team with renderings of interior spaces or nighttime renderings of buildings and structures, whether by using… 
 

An architectural lighting design should not only be aesthetically pleasing, it must also satisfy the needs of individuals who occupy the space.  By performing computer aided calculations, IA verifies a project's proposed design to assure that both the aesthetic and functional needs of the users are being met.
 

On occasion, the luminaires that are available “off-the-shelf” don’t satisfy the design need for a given space. Illumination Arts can work with the design team and manufacturers to develop a modified or custom luminaire that meets both the aesthetic and practical requirements of the project.
 

Every project we design is approached with an eye to energy efficiency and environmentally responsible choices.  In addition, with a LEED Accredited Professional on staff, Illumination Arts has the training and expertise to help you achieve the lighting-related points you need toward LEED certification.
 

Most public projects and a growing number of private projects need community approval and participation.  Illumination Arts has a great deal of experience speaking and working with such groups to help achieve consensus so that all participants feel that the final design is appropriate for the context of the site and serves the needs of the community.

The design of any building, structure or space must be evaluated as the installation progresses to ensure that the final product is as it was intended.  IA staff will visit the site over the course of construction and provide valuable input to help achieve that intent.  In addition, IA staff will supervise on-site personnel in the focusing of any interior or exterior adjustable lighting and will work with manufacturers, the owner and end users to program lighting control systems.
