Ultra Refined Excellence In lighting
Adaptive Design Group’s latest achievement—this Deer Valley ski residence—is more than a showcase of expert illumination; it represents a level of design, engineering, and artistic integration rarely seen in residential architecture.
As the most luxurious home ever sold in Utah, this project demanded not only technical mastery but a deep respect for the vision, lifestyle, and architectural ambition that shaped it. In a home where every material, every curve, and every detail reflects world-class craftsmanship, the lighting had to rise to that same standard—not to outshine, but to elevate.
“Glenn and his firm designed the most amazing lighting system on earth for this home.”
— Douglas G. Bergeron
This statement captures the magnitude of the project, yet the truth is that our approach remains grounded in humility and collaboration. No matter how grand the home, our philosophy stays the same: understand the architecture, honor the interior design, and create light that feels perfectly tailored to the people who live there.
At adaptive design group, we designed the blueprint for Ultra Refined Lighting Excellence.
In this residence, lighting becomes an extension of the structure itself—an artistic and technical thread woven into the fabric of the home. The great rooms and gathering spaces glow with warm, inviting ambiance that adapts smoothly from day to night. Hidden layers illuminate architectural lines with subtle precision, bringing out the natural beauty of rare stone, reclaimed wood, sculptural metals, and custom finishes. Integrated artwork lighting brings attention to curated pieces without overwhelming the space, while task lighting ensures effortless luxury in every functional zone.
What makes this project truly extraordinary is not just the scale, but the level of intentionality behind every decision. From the mountain hillside arrival experience to the ski-in ski-out access points, from wellness and entertainment spaces to intimate private retreats, each environment required its own lighting personality—distinct, yet harmoniously connected through the entire home. Our layered approach allowed us to shape emotion, guide movement, and create moments of visual poetry throughout the residence.
And while the home itself is undeniably world-class, the goal of its lighting was never spectacle—it was harmony. Light that supports. Light that reveals. Light that enhances the architecture without ever calling attention to itself. That is the essence of ultra-refined design.
