Architectural Lighting Design (Interior, Exterior & Facade) • Conceptual Storytelling: Developing the atmospheric narrative of the project. • Technical Design Packages: Comprehensive AutoCAD layouts, control zones, and 2D/3D integration details. • Tender-Ready Specifications: Brand-independent fixture schedules tailored to your project’s needs. 2.
