Lighting Design (Toolkit)

Atelier Ten’s lighting designers enhance the human visual experience and environmental performance of buildings through inspired, creative, and collaborative design. Starting from darkness, we deliver exceptional, integrated architectural lighting and daylighting systems.

Centered in our New Haven office, our lighting designers work closely with clients across North America and alongside our environmental design teams in New York and San Francisco on cultural, corporate, academic, athletics, research, healthcare, and hospitality projects. We are actively engaged in the development of progressive design and energy standards with many professional organizations.

We work with our clients to achieve their architectural design intent and desired visual experience. We provide deliverables that work:
• Integrated daylighting and electric lighting design concepts and graphics
• Lighting quality and energy performance criteria
• Illuminance, circadian health, and energy performance modeling
• Lighting layouts, luminaire schedules, manufacturer data, control guidelines, and specifications
• Luminaire design and mock-up coordination
• Bidding and procurement assistance
• Submittal review, system commissioning, aiming and control setting
• Maintenance and operation guidelines
• Existing lighting system evaluation and upgrade recommendations
• Support for LEED, WELL, Living Building Challenge, and other benchmarking programs
