Lighting Design

Our Philosophy

We believe in the power of light, both in its natural and artificial form. Light creates an architectural story playing multiple roles in the creative process. Not only is lighting an integral component of the visual design, but it also plays the part of the narrator – telling the story of the space. It transforms the static into kinetic – adding form, contrast, and color to invoke a unique and personal experience.

 

Our Approach

EwingCole’s Lighting Group strives to create unique and thoughtful design solutions that help communicate our clients’ mission and enhance the built environment. We work with our clients and the EwingCole team to find innovative ways to integrate lighting technologies that have a long-term impact in a space, maintained quality, and operational flexibility. We also look to incorporate natural light through innovative means to balance artificial illumination and captivate building occupants.

Our Expertise

Daylight Integration

Integration of a daylighting strategy is a critical component to ensure a desirable work environment while minimizing electricity use from artificial lighting systems. We use daylight modeling software during the design process to inform the energy model and help make decisions about building interiors.

Simulation Modeling

We take a purpose-driven approach to lighting design to meet our clients’ aesthetic and energy-saving goals. We use computer simulation modeling to optimize and assess our design solutions to produce the best possible outcome with a focus on creating an ideal sense of place and decreasing energy consumption.

Custom Light Fixture Design

Our integrated design team works with a broad spectrum of clients in a variety of industries. Each client is unique, and each project often brings with its own vision and perspective. Our team works directly with manufacturers to develop custom lighting fixtures that are tailormade to complete any space.

Lighting Controls

Design strategies that reduce or shift peak energy demand are often very attractive from a life-cycle cost standpoint, especially when the local utility rate includes high demand charges. Smart building control systems pay a critical role in managing electricity demand, reducing energy costs and minimizing the built environment’s carbon footprint. Our integrated team works with clients to create lighting systems that respond to occupancy patterns and determine a demand-controlled strategy that reduces energy costs.
