Lighting Design

Well-designed lighting can enhance all aspects of the human experience. Not only does it provide an understanding of form, space and material, it also affects our senses, our emotions and our health. We provide creative, energy-efficient lighting solutions for all types of projects. Our well-planned lighting schemes are fully integrated with the architecture, provide visual comfort and are responsive to the needs of the end-user while creating spaces that are inspiring, innovative and beautiful.

Collaboration, Creativity and Expertise

WSP delivers lighting solutions that enrich places and the people who use them.

Our lighting studio is dedicated to exploring and enhancing the user experience of every space we work in. We leverage our creativity and technical expertise to support client aspirations and project goals. Whether providing interior lighting geared towards fostering collaboration and embracing natural light, as we did for CalTech's Bechtel Residences, or developing an illumination strategy that supports multiple active program spaces while reinforcing architecture, like at Amazon in the Regrade, our team has an established track record of providing innovative, award-winning and sustainable, yet practical, lighting solutions to meet our clients' needs.

Collaborating closely with client and design teams, as well as our colleagues, we provide inspired lighting solutions that are informed by all project disciplines. For instance, at the Edition Hotel in West Hollywood, our designers tirelessly coordinated across multiple disciplines and stakeholders to successfully create a visually seamless design that elevates the guest experience.

We believe Light Changes Everything. We are passionate about the art and science of lighting design and how striking the right balance on every project enriches the human experience and delivers significant value to our clients and the communities. The Rodeo 39 Public Market project is one shining example among many.
