Design Process

Step1

Project Initiation

The first meeting with client

Hearings on architectural and landscape plans

The first meeting with electric system designers


Step2

Lighting Design Contract

Lighting design fee quotation submission, The scope of our work will be determined with client.

Wiring design is excluded from our scope of work.


Step3

Schematic Design

Project site visit and survey of the surrounding environment

Schematic design deliverables:

・Lighting design concept
・Lighting images
・Schematic lighting layout plan, elevation plan, and light fixture list
・Calculation of designed illuminance levels
・Approximate light fixture cost



Step4

Design Development

Design development deliverables:

・Lighting layout plan, elevation plan, and light fixture list
・Design drawings of custom-designed light fixtures
・Detailed drawings of light fixture mounting

Light fixture list adjustment due to budget

Analysis of lighting design using scale models

Further analysis of designed illuminance levels using 3D simulation software

Lighting design adjustment responding to architectural and landscape design changes


Meetings with light fixture manufacturers

On site meetings

Mock up tests

Lighting operation schedules


Step5

Design Supervision

Working drawings check and coordination

・Light fixture mounting
・Lighting design adjustment responding to architectural and landscape design changes

On site supervision

・Final check of light fixture positions
・Focusing
・Final check of lighting effect
・Final check of illuminance levels
