COUNTRY HOUSE LIGHTING DESIGN

For the renovation of heritage projects, we liaise with the architect and heritage consultant to achieve sign-off and work within the fabric of the building to develop a scheme that delivers the client brief. Our involvement to support in the coordination of decorative lighting elements ensures that the right quality of light is selected, and that smooth flicker–free dimming is achieved. We can also look to incorporate outdoor lighting that highlights the natural beauty of the estate’s landscape, such as trees, gardens, pathways, and water features. Our team will use light in a considered way to not only provide drama but also security and make the main terrace areas usable so they extend the living spaces. We are always mindful of minimising light pollution to preserve the natural beauty of the night sky and are well versed in creating lighting schemes for Dark Sky locations and for projects with specific nocturnal wildlife considerations.

Controls are another important element and can be designed to include everything on a central system. The client or estate manager can then more easily control the system, linking into building management services including the security system, home automation, curtains, ventilation etc. Alternatively we can use our experience to ensure that conventional lighting controls offer the best solution possible with the highest level of flexibility to meet the requirements of our clients.
