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.
Experience the artistry of light in your home. Contact Adaptive Design Group to bring expertise, vision, and precision to your space.

Villa della Costa stands as a true luxury coastal masterpiece overlooking Santa Barbara’s Gaviota Coast. Surrounded by untouched seaside landscape, the estate captures breathtaking 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and pastoral mountainsides. Designed in collaboration with J.M. Sewall & Associates and Mark Weaver & Associates, and built by Kitchell, the property embodies early California style while integrating modern technology, convenience, and comfort.
Completed in 2014, this sprawling single-level residence was thoughtfully planned to reflect both privacy and scale. Expansive interiors, custom walnut flooring, antiqued ceiling beams, and steel windows bring depth and warmth to the design.
Adaptive Design Group provided the architectural lighting design, enhancing each detail with carefully layered illumination. From ambient coastal glow to precision task lighting, their work ensures the estate feels as seamless at dusk as it does in daylight. Through expertise in lighting design consulting, dimming control, and integration systems, the home balances atmosphere, function, and natural beauty.
Combined with antique roof tiles imported from Spain and Portugal, a wine cellar, and abundant water supply, Villa della Costa is more than a home—it is a private retreat crafted with precision and artistry.
