Merlin Light Framing Projector

Abstract art often thrives on motion, energy, and layered meaning—and lighting must rise to the same level of sophistication to do it justice. In this recent installation, a vibrant and chaotic abstract painting—appearing at once floral, fiery, and explosive in its color movement—was given new life under the precision of a Merlin Light framing projector. Bold strokes of red, blue, and yellow weave across the canvas, perhaps hinting at a dandelion caught mid-burst, though the interpretation remains fluid and dynamic. What could have easily been lost in uneven shadows or overwhelmed by ambient light instead stands fully realized, every hue sharpened and balanced by tailored illumination.

The Merlin Light framing projector is built for exactly this kind of work—taking the unpredictable, layered nature of fine art and revealing it at its absolute best. Unlike general gallery lighting, which can flood a space indiscriminately, the projector allows for surgical precision. Light is directed only where it belongs, shaping around the canvas itself without distracting spill or glare. The result is not just visibility, but clarity: a viewer experiences the artwork as the artist intended, rich in color, depth, and dimensionality.

This project highlights how thoughtful lighting transforms the experience of art. The chaotic brushwork and radiant color scheme of the piece draw the eye in, and under the Merlin Light framing projector, those details radiate with energy and intention. In many ways, the projector doesn’t simply illuminate the painting—it frames the story, ensuring every detail, every burst of color, can be fully appreciated.

We Are Artists With Light … Experts In Technology

Lighting is more than illumination—it is the tool through which space, mood, and story are crafted. At Adaptive Design Group, we approach each project as artists with a deep understanding of technology, blending precision, creativity, and functionality to transform homes into experiences. Every home we touch benefits from decades of expertise in architectural lighting design, dimming control, motorized shade integration, and full systems coordination.

Being artists with light means seeing beyond the obvious. We consider every layer: architectural, decorative, art, path, task, interior design, view, and exterior. Each layer has a purpose, and when harmonized, they create environments that feel natural, yet extraordinary. From the glow that frames artwork to the subtle highlights along a textured wall or ceiling, every detail is thoughtfully composed to tell a story and enhance the human experience.

Our artistry is paired with technology. Automated systems, intelligent dimming, and integration of shades, electrical, and access controls ensure that beauty is effortless and adaptive to daily life. The results are spaces that not only look stunning but respond intuitively to lifestyle and function.

At Adaptive Design Group, this philosophy guides us across all projects—from mountain retreats to coastal estates, modern homes to classical mansions. We elevate the ordinary into something exceptional, providing clients with spaces that are visually captivating, emotionally resonant, and technologically seamless.

Expert Level Design Collaboration

True luxury is born from Expert Level Design Collaboration — when architecture, interiors, and technology align with purpose and precision. This timeless project stands as a powerful example of what happens when elite design professionals unite around a shared vision.

Adaptive Design Group was honored to collaborate alongside Shope Reno Wharton Architects and Vallone Design, bringing a fully integrated approach to Lighting Design, Lighting Control Systems, and Electrical Engineering. Every layer of light was thoughtfully engineered to complement the architectural intent and elevate the interior experience, setting a new benchmark for what a luxury mountain home can be.

In a residence of this caliber, lighting cannot be decorative or reactionary — it must be architectural. It must reveal structure, honor materials, and create mood without drawing attention to itself. Through precise specifications, disciplined coordination, and artistic restraint, our team shaped light to feel natural, effortless, and emotionally grounding throughout the home.

Equally critical to the success of this project was the flawless execution by Don Craig and the team at Craig Construction, whose craftsmanship brought the vision to life with exceptional attention to detail. When the right builders, designers, and engineers are aligned, the final environment feels intentional, refined, and timeless.

Located in Park City, Utah, this home reflects what is possible when a technical design team works in true harmony. Integrated lighting and electrical systems were engineered not simply for performance, but for experience — providing seamless control, quiet sophistication, and enduring reliability behind the walls.

This is what expert-level design collaboration looks like: clarity of vision, respect for each discipline, and a shared commitment to excellence. Adaptive Design Group continues to partner with leading architects, interior designers, and builders nationwide to create lighting environments that are never accidental and never ordinary.
