Residential Lighting Design for Custom Homes & Renovations
PE-led lighting design engineered for performance, constructability, and everyday living.
Illumify provides residential architectural lighting design supported by rigorous photometric engineering and construction-phase advocacy. We design lighting as a coordinated system — balancing architectural intent, visual performance, constructability, and code compliance — so the lighting decisions made on paper survive contact with the field.
We are a PE-led lighting design and engineering studio, engaged on high-value custom homes and major renovations where lighting quality, predictability, and accountability matter.
Engineered lighting systems designed to support architecture, construction, and everyday living.
Illumify provides independent, PE-led lighting design and documentation for high-value custom homes and major renovations. The work focuses on photometric validation, clear documentation, and coordination to support predictable performance from concept through occupancy.
We collaborate with architects, interior designers, and high-end custom builders on projects where lighting must be resolved early and executed without downstream discrepancies.
Core Documentation
Functional residential lighting layouts with permit-ready schedules and submittals. Developed for smaller homes and renovation projects where basic architectural coordination and documented intent are required.
Modeling & Validation
Detailed lighting layouts with DIALux Evo 3D modeling and photometric analysis. Provides verified illuminance levels and visual outcomes prior to construction.
Comprehensive Coordination
Full photometric modeling, iterative design refinement, and detailed documentation for complex custom residences. Includes submittal review and field coordination support to maintain documented design intent on site.
All packages emphasize documentation structured for long-term maintainability and consistent performance after occupancy.
Technical Lighting Coordination for architects, designers, builders, and project teams.
Illumify provides technical lighting coordination for architects, interior designers, and high-end custom builders on high-value residential projects. The focus is on maintaining documented design intent through photometric validation, submittal review, and construction-phase support.
Coordination Services Include:
- Photometric analysis and verification of lighting layouts against architectural and interior intent
- Review of fixture schedules and submittals for consistency with validated performance criteria
- Coordination with electrical contractors to clarify documented lighting requirements
- Field observation and documentation review during installation to reduce deviations
- Commissioning support to confirm installed systems align with the design documentation
This structured approach helps limit common risks such as performance shortfalls, value-engineering changes, and post-occupancy inconsistencies.
A technical resource for residential project teams.
Illumify serves as a technical resource for architects, interior designers, and high-end custom builders on high-value residential projects. We provide lighting design expertise, photometric validation, and coordinated documentation to support consistent execution from concept through occupancy.
Our Design Lab in Norcross offers a controlled environment for project teams to verify photometric performance and material response under specified lighting conditions prior to installation. The Lab is open by appointment — to project teams and the clients and decision-makers they bring. Learn more →
