See and FEEL the difference an Architectural Lighting Designer makes.

Great lighting doesn’t just illuminate—it transforms. It sets the mood, sculpts the space, and enhances the way you interact with every room. When you work with an Architectural Lighting Designer, you’re not simply adding fixtures. You’re crafting an experience—one that’s seen and felt.

From the warmth of a glow under a floating vanity, to the soft wash across an art piece or textured wall, to the barely-noticed accents that make ceilings seem taller and wood richer—expert lighting touches all your senses. It supports your lifestyle, showcases your design vision, and quietly elevates your daily rituals.

Too often, lighting is an afterthought. But when it’s designed with purpose, it becomes the invisible hand that guides, comforts, and inspires. Every room tells a more complete story. Every material is given space to shine. Every transition—from hallway to living area, from kitchen to bedroom—feels seamless and intentional.

At Adaptive Design Group, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We work with your architecture, your interior, and your needs to design lighting that works with your space—not just in it.

Experienced Architectural Lighting Design

Experienced Architectural Lighting Design is never accidental. It’s the result of deliberate planning, skilled collaboration, and a deep understanding of how light shapes space and emotion. At Adaptive Design Group, we believe lighting is one of the most powerful tools in the built environment—and when done correctly, it’s invisible in its perfection, yet unforgettable in its impact.

From the earliest phases of a project, our team is involved in planning every detail. We work closely with architects, interior designers, AV integrators, and contractors to ensure lighting is not an afterthought, but a foundational design element. Every fixture, control system, and lighting layer is carefully considered—blending form and function into a seamless whole.

We approach each project with a custom strategy: balancing natural light with artificial layers, supporting the mood of each space, and highlighting key architectural, artistic, and decorative features. Whether it’s the subtle drama of indirect cove lighting, the crisp clarity of task-specific fixtures, or the emotional warmth of accent light on texture and materials—every detail is aligned with the larger vision.

Our signature process prioritizes communication and clarity. We provide thorough documentation, clear intent drawings, and ongoing design leadership throughout construction to ensure fidelity from concept through completion.

Architectural lighting design is not just about fixtures or technology—it’s about storytelling through light. It’s about making people feel something the moment they walk into a space. That level of execution takes experience, trust, and true design integrity.

This level of lighting design is only possible when every element is intentionally aligned—when the technical, artistic, and emotional aspects of a space are brought into harmony through true expertise. Although we’ve completed exceptional work in the commercial realm, our passion and primary focus is residential. We bring decades of experience, a deep understanding of architecture, and diverse technical knowledge into every home we touch—creating lighting that enhances how it feels to live there, every day.

Great spaces deserve great lighting. Let us help you create something remarkable.

Layers of Light

Lighting can completely transform a dining experience, and at Adaptive Design Group, we approach it with precision, artistry, and purpose. Every dining space is an opportunity to combine multiple layers of light—ambient, task, decorative, and accent—to create warmth, depth, and a sense of intimacy while highlighting architectural features and design elements.

In this space, recessed ceiling fixtures provide a soft, overall glow that sets a welcoming tone. Decorative pendants above the dining table act as a focal point, drawing attention to the gathering space without overpowering the room. Accent lighting highlights artwork, cabinetry, and architectural details, ensuring that every carefully selected element is appreciated at the right moment. Task lighting is seamlessly integrated, providing practical illumination for meals and entertaining without detracting from the ambiance.

The interplay of these layers, combined with precise dimming control and hidden integration, allows the space to adapt for every occasion—from intimate family dinners to larger social gatherings. With Adaptive Design Group, lighting isn’t an afterthought; it’s an integral part of the design, enhancing both the functional and aesthetic experience.

Contact us to see how our expertise in layered lighting design can transform your dining spaces into something truly extraordinary.

What Happens When You Work with an Architectural Lighting Designer

Lighting isn’t just about visibility—it’s about experience. And when it’s done right, you can feel the difference.

At Adaptive Design Group, lighting is more than an afterthought or add-on. It’s a primary design element—woven into the architecture from the very beginning, not retrofitted after the fact. This is what separates standard electrical plans from true Architectural Lighting Design.

The difference is in the details. The quiet precision of recessed luminaires that disappear into the ceiling. The intentional placement of indirect light that draws you through a space. The way each fixture is carefully selected, tested, and tuned to match the exact mood, tone, and texture of your environment. This is not guesswork—it’s artistry supported by technical expertise.

We bring decades of experience to every project, working closely with architects, builders, and clients to design lighting systems that are as intelligent as they are beautiful. Combined with our proprietary dimming control technology, the end result is lighting that enhances the architecture, improves comfort, and sets the stage for life to unfold effortlessly.

When your lighting is designed to flow with the architecture, you don’t just see the difference. You feel it—every day.

Let us show you how light, thoughtfully applied, can transform your space.

CEDIA Expo 22: Adaptive Design Group Gives Overview of Architectural Lighting Design Services

Glenn Merlin Johnson discusses collaboration with the CI channel Integrator, and the success in the early inclusion into the design team.

Working seamlessly  in owner tech and product education, coordination with the architect, interior designer, and providing professional documentation is the only path to success.

Sharing Lighting Design at CEDIA

Adaptive Design Group’s presence at CEDIA Expo 2022 captured more than a presentation — it documented a philosophy. In this featured video overview, Glenn Merlin Johnson speaks directly to what truly defines successful architectural lighting design: collaboration, trust, and inclusion at the earliest stages of a project. When lighting is brought in as a core discipline rather than a finishing touch, the result is not just better illumination, but more intelligent architecture, more cohesive interiors, and more meaningful spaces.

At the heart of this discussion is the role of the CI channel integrator. Modern luxury homes require a technical team that understands how lighting, control systems, and emerging technologies work together seamlessly. Glenn highlights that the most successful projects are built when integrators are not merely installers, but partners — aligned with architects and interior designers from day one. This is where lighting design stops being reactive and becomes visionary.

Early inclusion into the design team allows for true coordination: sightlines are preserved, architectural features are enhanced, and lighting controls are designed to support both function and feeling. This process also improves homeowner education. When owners understand the “why” behind the lighting, they experience their homes differently — not as static structures, but as living environments that adapt to mood, time of day, and lifestyle.

The video also touches on the importance of professional documentation. Biddable, buildable drawings and precise specifications are not just technical necessities — they are creative safeguards. They ensure that what was envisioned in concept is actually delivered in reality. Without this level of documentation, even the best ideas can be lost during construction.

This CEDIA Expo feature reinforces a simple truth: architectural lighting design only succeeds when collaboration leads. The relationship between owner, integrator, architect, and interior designer isn’t optional — it’s essential.

If you believe lighting should be planned with intention and executed with precision, we invite you to connect with us and explore how early collaboration can transform your next project.
