Architectural lighting design

Lighting Design

Light shapes how a space is read, used, and remembered.

We approach lighting as architecture's quiet partner, every fixture choice, layout, and control sequence affects how a room feels, performs, and complies. Our lighting designers work alongside the electrical team to deliver photometric layouts, control sequences, daylight integration, and circadian-friendly designs that meet energy code and the design intent without compromise.

From museum galleries to parking garages, lighting requirements differ wildly, but the discipline is the same: the right light, in the right place, at the right time, at the lowest watt that does the job.

Our Approach

Lighting Design engineering approach

How We Work

Each design is verified in calculation, photometric models in AGi32 or Visual confirm illuminance, uniformity, and glare before a fixture is purchased, and control narratives are written so the system behaves the way the design intended.

  • Photometric calculations on every space that matters
  • Controls narratives & sequence documentation included
  • ASHRAE 90.1 / IECC / Title 24 compliance documented

Why Owners Choose KeRi

Design Intent Kept

Fixture selections and layouts that serve the architecture, value engineering proposals get reviewed against photometrics, not just price.

Code Without Compromise

Lighting power density, controls, and daylight zones documented to pass energy code review the first time.

Controls That Work

Scene programming, sensors, and daylight harvesting specified with commissioning requirements so they actually function at turnover.

Have a project worth engineering?

We work with owners, architects, contractors, and developers across higher education, healthcare, pharmaceutical, commercial, mission-critical, and institutional sectors. Bring us in early. Schematic design is where the most expensive mistakes get prevented.
