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.

Jewels of Light
Artistry and precision come together in exterior lighting when each element is thoughtfully placed to enhance the space. On this modern mountain luxury residence, what might appear as spontaneous “jewels of light” is, in fact, the result of meticulous planning, design, and execution. Each illuminated point on the deck is carefully positioned to accentuate architectural features, landscape elements, and the natural surroundings, creating an enchanting yet functional outdoor experience.
Adaptive Design Group approaches every exterior project with a focus on balance and harmony. The lighting serves multiple purposes—highlighting textures, guiding circulation, and creating ambiance—while never overwhelming the senses. By combining integrated controls, carefully chosen fixtures, and precise aiming, each light interacts seamlessly with the others, producing a dynamic yet cohesive visual composition.
The result is an outdoor environment that feels both magical and deliberate. Guests are drawn to the interplay of light across the deck, patios, and surrounding landscape, experiencing a sense of depth, comfort, and elegance.
Reach out to Adaptive Design Group to explore how our precision lighting can transform your exterior spaces, turning every deck, patio, and outdoor area into a masterpiece of light and design.

Transforming Staircases with Architectural Lighting & Dimming Control
A staircase isn’t just a means to move between floors—it’s a design statement, a sculptural element, and an opportunity to express the soul of a space.
At Adaptive Design Group, we don’t hide staircases—we elevate them. Illuminating the Journey begins with our signature Artistry in Light™ and advanced Dimming Control Technology, even the most understated stairwell becomes a captivating experience. The interplay of soft, programmable lighting and architectural precision brings motion, safety, and ambiance into perfect alignment.
Our team works hand-in-hand with architects and designers to seamlessly integrate lighting into the built form—highlighting materials, textures, and transitions without disrupting the flow of the home. Whether concealed under treads, tucked into side rails, or reflected off fine surfaces, each detail is meticulously considered.
Why settle for basic when the journey itself can be extraordinary?
We believe every space has a story—and lighting is how it speaks. Contact us to start your journey!

Architectural Lighting That Elevates Every Step
A staircase is more than a passage—it’s a sculptural moment within the home. And when treated with intention, it becomes an opportunity to showcase the architecture rather than obscure it.
At Adaptive Design Group, we believe lighting is a tool of revelation—used to emphasize form, guide the eye, and create atmosphere. That’s why we treat features like staircases not as utilitarian necessities, but as canvases for our Artistry in Light.
In this home, the stairwell serves as both a functional connector and a central design feature. Subtle layers of indirect light accent the verticality of the space, while custom-integrated step lighting ensures safety without visual clutter. Every element—trimless fixtures, dimming zones, material reflections—was carefully considered to enhance the architectural story.
Our proprietary Dimming Control Technology gives the homeowner granular control over the mood and intensity of each scene, whether it’s late-night ambiance or bright midday visibility. The result is an environment that feels intuitive, refined, and remarkably balanced.
Great lighting doesn’t shout—it whispers. And in a space like this, the staircase becomes a quiet focal point: an illuminated path that invites movement while enhancing the home’s sense of flow and form.
Why Hide Your Staircase? If your staircase is tucked away in the shadows, it might be time to ask: what would happen if you lit it like the art piece it truly is?
Let’s explore what’s possible—step by step.

A Moment of Peace Illuminated
In one of our signature projects, a serene Buddha figure is framed beautifully in light, set against a backlit onyx wall that casts a warm, calming glow. This thoughtful lighting design creates a peaceful focal point—an invitation to pause, breathe, and find tranquility amid daily life.
At Adaptive Design Group, we use our custom Merlin Light®—a high-output recessed projector—to sculpt and highlight art with precision and subtlety. It’s not just about illumination; it’s about crafting moments of calm and reflection through light.
Let your home become a sanctuary where every detail, including lighting, encourages mindfulness and peace.
