Our Approach
At Arch'Eng L Design, we are driven by a commitment to creating sustainable, human-centric lighting solutions. This commitment is reflected in our unique Design Triad approach, which seamlessly integrates architectural context, lighting expertise, and engineering principles. We provide comprehensive lighting solutions across all scales. For interior spaces, we focus on comfort, productivity, and well-being. For exterior environments, we balance visibility, safety, and aesthetics with environmental preservation, managing light pollution and protecting natural habitats.
The Design Triad: A Unified Methodology
Effective lighting design is not just about illumination—it's about creating a harmonious relationship between architecture, lighting, and engineering. Our Design Triad ensures each element is thoughtfully integrated, optimizing the function, aesthetics, and sustainability of every space, from the urban scale down to individual components.
How It Works: The Three Pillars of Integration
Architecture:
We consider the built environment at all scales, from urban planning and building design to interior spaces and architectural details, balancing functionality with aesthetic harmony.
Lighting:
We design and integrate lighting systems for every context, from urban lighting strategies to interior lighting (including the careful integration of daylighting and electrical lighting) and individual luminaries, ensuring harmony with the architecture and surrounding environment while prioritising human comfort and visual well-being.
Engineering:
We provide the technical expertise for safe, reliable, and efficient lighting solutions, considering infrastructure, building systems, and component performance for sustainable outcomes that minimise environmental impact and contribute to net-zero goals
Interconnections Between the Three Disciplines: A Synergistic Approach
The true power of our approach lies in the synergy between these three disciplines. This combined methodology leads to lighting solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable and user centred.
Lighting ↔ Architecture:
Our lighting designs are intrinsically linked to architectural elements. We draw from the built environment to inform our lighting strategies, integrating natural light, creating ambiance, and highlighting key features to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. The interplay between light and architecture defines spatial hierarchy and user comfort.
Lighting ↔ Engineering:
We design with the end goal of achieving optimal performance. Our lighting concepts guide the engineering solutions needed to ensure energy efficiency, system layout, and technology choices. Through careful engineering, we meet safety standards, optimize efficiency, and minimize light pollution.
Engineering ↔ Architecture:
While lighting design is at the centre of our work, the intersection with engineering and architecture creates the foundation for seamless integration. Engineering ensures the feasibility of architectural designs and provides the infrastructure necessary for a successful lighting system. Together, we ensure that lighting contributes positively to the built environment, enhancing user comfort while minimizing environmental impact.
