Adaptive Design Group’s signature approach—Layers of Lighting—is where artistry meets precision to create breathtaking environments that engage and inspire. When you step into a beautifully designed space, like this stunning pool and hot tub area, lighting is never just one-dimensional. Instead, it’s a carefully crafted blend of multiple layers, each serving a unique purpose while harmonizing to create an immersive experience. So, how many layers of light can you count here?
In architectural lighting design, we recognize eight essential layers that work together to elevate every space:
Architecture: Lighting that highlights the structure’s form and unique design elements.
Decorative: Fixtures that double as art, adding personality and style.
Art: Specialized lighting to showcase paintings, sculptures, or other focal points.
Path: Guiding the way safely with subtle illumination along walkways or stairs.
Task: Focused lighting for functional activities like reading, cooking, or poolside relaxation.
Interior Design: Lighting that complements furniture, fabrics, and finishes.
View: Managing natural or scenic views through lighting control and balance.
Exterior: Lighting that enhances outdoor features and landscaping.
This poolside setting is a perfect example of how Adaptive Design Group integrates these layers seamlessly. From soft exterior lighting that enhances the natural surroundings, to the carefully placed task lights around seating areas, to the decorative fixtures that add style and mood—every detail is intentional. The result is a captivating space where light feels natural, inviting, and luxurious.
Our collaboration with architects, interior designers, and clients ensures that each layer of light fulfills its role, working in concert rather than competition. From concept to completion, this artistic layering defines the experience, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary.

Creating Atmosphere Through Expert Exterior Lighting Design
A well-lit exterior is more than visibility—it’s an experience. This stunning outdoor lounge captures the essence of what refined lighting design can accomplish when every element is carefully considered. From the glow beneath shaded umbrellas to the thoughtfully placed decorative lighting, each choice works in harmony to shape an environment that feels both elevated and inviting.
We are masters of ambience. Palm trees sway gently, bathed in soft uplighting that brings texture and rhythm to the scene. Along the walkways, precision path lighting guides guests with understated elegance. Clustered lanterns and candle-style fixtures give the area a warm, curated intimacy, as if the space was built for long, meaningful conversations under the stars. Even the floral wall—a living artwork in its own right—is framed in intentional light, turning nature into a featured installation worthy of admiration.
This is the mark of seasoned design: every fixture and beam working together in layers to create ambiance, safety, and style. There are no accidents here—only deliberate strokes of light, placed like a painter would apply color. The result? An environment that feels luxurious without being overdone, modern without losing its soul, and magical without a trace of gimmick.
Let Adaptive Light your vision—from the ground up.
Your dream home deserves lighting designed to live in.

It is all about Visualization, Specification and Execution.
Few architectural features capture the imagination like a glass elevator. In this project, the elevator serves not only as a functional element connecting floors but as a visual centerpiece. A true LIGHT TRANSPORTER. Encased in glass, it frames breathtaking views of the snowy mountain landscape, creating a sense of openness and connection with the outdoors. As it moves, the surrounding light shifts, highlighting both the mechanical precision and the artistry of the surrounding architecture.
Wrapping gracefully around the elevator, the staircase is a masterclass in layered lighting. Artistic decorative lighting draws the eye to the sculptural qualities of the handrails, balusters, and treads, while practical lighting ensures safety and comfort. Subtle accent and recessed fixtures highlight the curves and angles, reinforcing the rhythm of movement through the space. Each element is carefully specified to balance aesthetic impact with functional necessity, a hallmark of expert architectural lighting design.
Adaptive Design Group’s approach to this space demonstrates how integrated design thinking elevates even the most technical elements. Visualization allows the team to anticipate how light interacts with materials, glass, and snow-reflective surfaces. Specifications ensure the correct products, placement, and dimming controls, while meticulous execution guarantees that the final result is flawless. The combination of artistry and technology transforms a simple vertical transport into a centerpiece of beauty, interaction, and light.
