Connecting Through Community and Cause

Adaptive Design Group’s Founder, Glenn Merlin Johnson, recently joined the 9th Annual Paragon Partner Golf Tournament at the Aspen Golf Course, benefiting the Aspen Hope Center: Connect – Hope – Heal.

He was joined on the course by Andy Wisnoski of Poss Architecture and Ralph Dahllof of Grassi & Associates — coming together to golf for a cause and support the important work of the Aspen Hope Center. One of the most important things in life is Connecting Through Community and Cause.

At Adaptive Design Group, we are proud to collaborate with extraordinary teams and always value opportunities to connect, especially in settings that celebrate both community and the season.

Lighting isn’t just functional — it’s foundational.
⁠
At Adaptive Design Group, our Adaptive Method™ of layered lighting is intentionally designed to enhance and support each layer of the built environment. This featured project focuses on the Interior Design layer — where thoughtful illumination brings textures, finishes, and furnishings to life.⁠
⁠
Lighting isn’t just functional. By highlighting design details with purpose, we create a warm, inviting atmosphere that amplifies the beauty of the interior while setting the perfect tone for the space.⁠
⁠
This is where lighting becomes an essential design element.⁠

Success in Luxury Residences

THE MODERN DESIGN TEAM™

Great architecture isn’t created in silos—it’s built through synergy. At Adaptive Design Group, we believe the most success in luxury residences come from seamless collaboration between the architect, interior designer, and our team of lighting and technology experts.

We don’t just enhance the design—we help bring it to life with fully integrated, biddable and buildable lighting plans that reflect the artistic vision, technical precision, and the client’s exact specifications.

The result? Breathtaking homes that are beautifully lit, highly functional, and timeless in sophistication.

Lighting that dazzles—without ever distracting.
⁠
At Adaptive Design Group, we believe the best architectural lighting isn’t seen—it’s felt.⁠
⁠
When light is thoughtfully integrated into the architecture from the very beginning, it does more than illuminate. It elevates. It enhances. It disappears into the structure while quietly guiding focus, mood, and experience.⁠
⁠
We collaborate with architects and builders to create lighting plans that are not only beautifully intentional—but also fully buildable and biddable. No guesswork. No compromise. Just lighting that protects your design vision and delivers the luxury your clients expect.⁠
⁠
Lighting that dazzles by design. Engineered to disappear.
