Exteriors
Exterior Lighting Design is it's own beast, having no walls or strictly defined areas. The nighttime environment presents different challenges to create dynamic comfortable spaces while also maintaining safety, security, and sensitivity to nighttime environments. We practice International Dark Sky and Light Justice principles when approaching any project especially in sensitive locations.
