What we do

What we do

LOOMIT provides lighting design services across all architectural fields, with a particular focus on outdoor projects. For over three decades, we have been developing urban lighting projects & creating city-wide lighting masterplans.

Beyond essential perceptual & aesthetic considerations, our design approach prioritizes compliance with norms, standards, & regulations. We are committed to sustainability, striving to minimize energy consumption & maintenance costs while delivering high-quality lighting solutions.

Throughout our design process, we collaborate closely with architects, design partners, & clients to define project objectives & performance criteria across the following phases:

Concept & Preliminary Design

  • Based on the client’s brief, we establish project goals & develop sketches, illustrations, & budget assessments to communicate design intent effectively to the architect &/or client.
Design Development, Detailed Design & Procurement

Design Development, Detailed Design & Procurement

  • We produce technical drawings, including plans, elevations, details, & lighting calculations. Where necessary, we conduct mock-ups & on-site testing.
  • We engage with manufacturers early in the process to ensure design feasibility before finalizing execution drawings, refined cost estimates, & key project documents such as specifications & bills of quantities.
  • We support clients in the evaluation & selection of bids/offers.

Implementation

  • The final phase includes commissioning the lighting system & delivering it to the client.
