Work 01 · Control design & spec
The design behind the design
Groups, zones, dimming curves and driver selection matched to your exact luminaires — so you can go to tender with a control spec that survives procurement substitutions.
For lighting designers & architects · Europe, remote-first
You compose the light. We engineer, document and commission the control layer behind it — so your client walks into the render, not into an approximation of it.

The Ownerless Layer
Medium: everyone's scope,
therefore no one's
Between your render and the building sits a layer no one owns.
Not the luminaires — those have a schedule. Not the wiring — that has a contractor. The control layer: driver types, dimming curves, addressing, groups, scenes, the commissioning week. On most projects it belongs to everyone, which means it belongs to no one. That phenomenon — not any person, not any trade — is what this studio exists against.
Exhibit 02 · The same room, twice — drag the dimmer
The right-hand state is not a caricature. It is the default outcome of an unowned layer: all zones on, one group, 4000 K, scenes “to be defined later”.
Exhibit 02b · One second · not for sale
During one fit-out, a 230 V conductor was landed on a DALI line. Two hundred drivers, dead in one second. Nobody's scope, everybody's problem — and the most expensive second we know. This discipline exists so that second never gets built into your project.
You shouldn't have to stake your name on a layer nobody owns. With us, you won't.
A quieter question worth sitting with: what happens to your handover date if that layer still has no owner when the electricians arrive?

The Works
Medium: engineering,
documentation, commissioning
Four works. Each one exists so you can stop doing someone else's job.
Work 02 · The Site Book™
Documentation crews actually read
Pin-to-pin wiring cards, addressing plans and scene tables, written for the people pulling the cable — so you can hand the site over without babysitting it.
Work 03 · Remote commissioning
Scenes tuned over the air
Wireless control is commissioned remotely, verified on video, adjusted live — so you can deliver a villa in Barcelona without leaving your studio.
Work 04 · Handover & aftercare
One button, then applause
Commissioned scenes, a one-page manual your client will actually open, adjustments after move-in — so you can promise a date and keep it.

Admission
Medium: one number,
fully credited
First, the picture. Then, the number.
Picture the other invoice — the one for a control layer that fails at handover. It has four more digits than this one, and it arrives with your name in the CC line. Admission to avoiding it:
The Reality Check · admission ticket
€390 · verdict in 5 working days · credited in full
- Send your lamp schedule and plans — the XLS from your office is fine.
- You receive a written verdict: build, fix, or stop — risks ranked, hardware ballpark included.
- The €390 is credited in full against any engagement that follows. If the verdict is “stop”, it is the cheapest disaster you never had.
The ladder — each step optional

03White Glove — design to commissioned handover, by proposal
No retainer, no discovery call, no countdown timer.

Four Movements
Medium: one email
from your side
Your part is one email. Here is the rest.
i.
You send the lamp schedule
The XLS from your design office is fine. That is the entire onboarding — so you can start without a workshop, a portal, or a kickoff deck.
ii.
Reality Check, 5 working days
A written verdict — build, fix, or stop — risks ranked, hardware ballpark. €390, credited in full.
iii.
We engineer & document
Control design plus the Site Book™ — pin-to-pin cards and scene tables the crew on site will actually read.
iv.
Light arrives as rendered
Scenes commissioned, one-button handover — and your client photographing the ceiling instead of questioning it.
Room 07
Questions from the Floor
Medium: plain answers
Questions from the floor.
We already have an electrical engineer. What do you add?
Your engineer makes the installation safe and compliant — essential, and not our job. We own what sits between disciplines: dimming behaviour, scene logic, addressing, driver compatibility and the commissioning week. That gap is where renders go to die, so someone has to sign their name under it. We do.
Can a control layer really be delivered remotely?
The Barcelona villa in Room 05 — 36 groups, ~130 wireless nodes — was delivered fully remotely for a European design studio. Wireless control is commissioned over the air and verified on video; geography became a spreadsheet column, not a cost line.
What if the Reality Check says our design won't work?
Then it says so in writing, with the fix ranked by cost and consequence. A €390 “stop” before tender beats discovering the same thing live, at handover, in front of your client — and the fee is credited in full if we repair it together.
Which technologies do you work with?
Casambi (4C certified, all regions), DALI-2, and wired–wireless hybrids. The specification follows your light — the brand list is an output of the design, never the input.
Fluorescent tubes leaning in a corner — can you do that?
That's a Dan Flavin, and it belongs in a museum. We stay behind the ceiling: in this gallery the artwork is your light, not ours.
Room 08 · The Guest Book
Would it be a bad idea to show us what your client was promised?
One email. Attach the lamp schedule or the render — whichever is closer to hand. A human reply within one working day; a Reality Check verdict within five, if you choose to start.
And if it isn't the moment — “no” is a complete answer. The gallery stays open.
