Leading the country with Cutting Edge Lighting Design
Lighting Up Your California Residence
California has long been the epicenter of luxury residential architecture, iconic landscapes, and sophisticated living.
From the sun-kissed coastlines of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach to the grand estates of Bel Air, Atherton, and Beverly Hills, the Golden State offers the perfect backdrop for world-class lighting design. The region’s natural light, seasonal variety, and architectural ambition make it uniquely suited for lighting that elevates homes into works of art.
With demand for state-of-the-art homes continuing to rise—especially in tech-driven areas like Atherton and Silicon Valley, as well as resort-style enclaves like Palm Desert—the need for lighting design that complements architecture, landscape, and lifestyle has never been greater. At Adaptive Design Group, we bring our hallmark combination of technical precision and artistic vision to California’s most discerning clients.

Success is Working with Architects, Interior Designers, and Clients
Collaboration with Design Professionals
Teamwork always gets the best results. We collaborate with clients to build a plan that includes all architectural and interior design.
Working with Architects
In California’s luxury landscape, lighting must harmonize with bold architecture, large-span glazing, indoor/outdoor flow and structural clarity. We coordinate with architects to ensure lighting aligns with form, sightlines, and materials.

High-end homes demand interior lighting that complements finishes, furnishings, and art. Our lighting design creates visual layers that enhance texture, color and tone without distraction.
