LDLuz – Lighting Design Studio

Its main approach is that light is a medium and language to solve functional and ambient situations, that highlight the spatial qualities or architectural intentions, always adapted to specific site requirements and human wellbeing.

With a dynamic and creative team, we develop lighting concepts and strategies guided from project and client objectives, always accompanied by design excellence.

The combinations of aesthetic aspects, efficiency, budget control and integrated architectural lighting solutions to highlight the architecture and the whole design intentions are our vision and our commitment.

The work is oriented to artificial and daylight solutions, including an extensive local and international experience working in hospitality, restaurants, retail, exhibitions, and residential projects, among other typologies, all in collaboration with teams from multiple areas and disciplines.
