LIGHTING
Lighting in any project is really necessary to truly bring a design to life, surprisingly quite often when we are at discussion stage of a project our clients sometimes are not always on the same page. We find we discuss style of lighting and maybe not the more detailed technical subject of lighting.
However the true value of great lighting is paramount to the success of a design in so many ways, the energy, the mood and the atmosphere of a room is set by its lighting.
A short time ago Machan and myself stumbled across eachother and shared the same view and values on the subject of lighting, from this our collaborative relationship began. I really felt she could add huge value to our projects, going forward Hawksbee will be our preferred supplier for all our lighting consultancy requirement.
'MACHAN ENEVER' founder of HAWKSBEE
Hawksbee lighting design consultancy was founded by creative director, Machan Enever.
‘We believe that collaboration is key to any exceptional residential project. Lighting is a fundamental element within these environments, it is a design component that is integral to any project and this is why we always recommend that you consider utilising the expertise of a lighting designer.
Lighting is so incredibly important for you; for your productivity, health, well-being and creativity. These elements stem from the environments in which we inhabit. And our clients understand the value of what a considered lighting design can provide, this what we design.
Lighting is one of the simplistic ways to change the use and atmosphere of a space through factors such as is, but not limited to, whether the product is concealed or expressed, colour temperature warm or cool, decorative or architectural integration. However, what we also provide is the knowledge and expertise of the current product, lighting control and scene setting. Now, more than ever, we are using our environments as multi-functional, adaptable spaces and the simplest way to alter any environment to suit your mood, to suit the task whether working, cooking, entertaining or time of day is to control the lighting to the use of the space.
Not many people understand the nature of what we do, what we design, it seems intangible. What we bring and what good lighting brings is only really understood when it touches a surface, when it touches materials and objects. This is why when using the expertise of an Interior designer you should consider using a lighting design consultant in the early stages of the concept design. A lighting designers knowledge and experience will enhance those spatial entities, the materials, colour palettes and textures.
It is our responsibility to provide both the interior designer and the client with a lit environment that not only lifts but complements these elements.
This is the essence of what we practice at HAWKSBEE’
