Domestic Briefing

Smart home integrations use open protocols so clients are not locked into proprietary ecosystems. Cable routes through listed plaster ceilings are documented with borescope surveys to minimise structural intervention. Emergency lighting routes are overlaid on architectural plans early, preventing last-minute ceiling grid conflicts with sprinklers and ducts. Mock-ups at full scale allow clients to approve beam angles on stone textures before bulk procurement.

Lux levels are calculated room-by-room before any luminaire is specified, ensuring compliance with CIBSE guidance and client comfort expectations. Maintenance schedules note relamping intervals and access equipment requirements for atrium installations above twelve metres. Façade lighting schemes respect dark-sky policies, using full cut-off optics and time clocks aligned with local curfew ordinances.

Ambient Layer Design

Photometric files from manufacturers are verified in Relux before purchase orders are issued to electrical contractors. Mock-ups at full scale allow clients to approve beam angles on stone textures before bulk procurement.

Exterior IP ratings are selected per exposure zone, from IP65 for sheltered colonnades to IP68 for fountain submersibles. Daylight sensors are positioned to avoid false triggering from adjacent reflective surfaces or passing vehicle headlights. Tunnel and transition lighting gradients are designed to prevent pupil shock when moving between brightness zones. Colour rendering indices above 90 are specified for galleries and residential art walls where fidelity matters.

Task and Accent Layers

Mock-ups at full scale allow clients to approve beam angles on stone textures before bulk procurement. Smart home integrations use open protocols so clients are not locked into proprietary ecosystems.

Dimming curves are tested against wall finishes so warm-white LED sources do not shift perceived timber tones after sunset. Coordination meetings with M&E engineers resolve conflicts between light positions and HVAC diffusers before tender. Control system programming includes scene presets for cleaning, event hosting, and security patrol modes. We model glare indices for workstations near windows, adjusting shield angles and baffle depths until screen visibility meets ergonomic thresholds.

Control Protocols

Heritage commissions require reversible mounting details; we specify magnetic fixings or clip systems approved by conservation officers. Cable routes through listed plaster ceilings are documented with borescope surveys to minimise structural intervention.

We decline projects where ceiling heights cannot accommodate minimum clearance for recessed downlight housings. Colour rendering indices above 90 are specified for galleries and residential art walls where fidelity matters.
