About

WHAT

We are an architectural lighting design studio based in Athens that creates ideal lighting environments for living spaces, culture and working environments around the world. In every project we seek to provide:

Strong concepts and innovative proposals using advanced technology.

People based solutions taking into account the user’s point of view and according to Human Centric Lighting recommendations.

Flexible layouts for every architectural design and budget.

Optimum designs following international standards and achieving maximum energy efficiency and sustainability.

Our vision is to work in cooperation with architects, investors and operators to define space, mood and add value with lighting in every project.

WHY US

We collaborate with developers, architects, interior designers and MEP providing lighting solutions that satisfy every part of the design team and the final user. Our clients choose us because:

We are architects, speaking the same language with the designers of every project and this means that every concept idea originates as an immaterial material to enhance architecture and space.

Our services are strictly design and supervision and not provision of lighting equipment or construction- installation and this allow us to have high standards in the specifications and the final outcome.

Our ongoing academic experience keeps us in touch with the latest news in International Standards and design trends. At the same time, our academic research focuses on wellbeing and architectural history highlighting.

WHO

We are a group of architects and designers specialised in Lighting design who create the ideal lighting environment for living spaces, culture and working environment around the world.
