A lighting partner who understands your architecture

We think along at your level

Lighting design for architects requires a different approach than classic lighting advice. As an architect, you aren’t looking for a supplier who simply delivers a few fixtures after the fact. You are looking for a partner who understands your vision, who thinks along from the first sketch, and who guards the light experience of your design from start to finish, without compromising on the essence of your work.

At Lichthuis, we know the language of architecture. We read plans, understand materials, and know how light can enhance a space or just as easily break it down. That is why we integrate seamlessly into your workflow and take full responsibility for the lighting vision of a project, from the first plans to the final adjustments on site.

A collaboration with Lichthuis

Involved early, involved long

The earlier we start thinking along, the better. We prefer to step in from the very first plans so that lighting vision, architecture, and technology are aligned from the start.

We provide a complete technical file that fits seamlessly with your plans — clear and useful for all parties, from electrician to contractor and interior architect.

tell us about your project

We stay involved after the plan. A site visit between the electrical and plastering work, a final check after installation, to ensure the lighting vision also works in practice.

For spaces that require a specific lighting solution you won’t find anywhere else, we design and produce in our own workshop. Fully tailored to your design.

what we do

Sometimes you already know what you want. The light points are fixed, the space is set. But which fixture fits here? Which light source provides the atmosphere you’re looking for? That is exactly where lighting advice begins.

more about lighting advice

Every space is thoroughly examined. We analyze architecture, materials, and rhythm until we know exactly where each light should fall.

more about lighting studies

Your home or space is finished, but does it feel that way? We redefine how your space feels, with light as the only intervention.

more about relighting

Sometimes the perfect lighting solution isn’t there. Not because it’s impossible, but because it doesn’t yet exist in the form your space requires. For those projects, we have custom-made solutions.

“Light shapes a space. The combination of shadow and light brings architecture to life.”

Frequently asked questions

Every architect works in their own way. That is why we like to adapt how you collaborate with Lichthuis to your own method.

Do you want to refer your client to Lichthuis and leave the rest of the process to us? Then we are happy to take that on entirely.

Do you prefer to maintain control over the lighting design yourself? Or would you rather sit down at the table together with your client and Lichthuis? That is also possible.

Together, we will find the way to collaborate with Lichthuis that best suits your firm and project.
No. Lichthuis can handle that for you.

Thanks to our technical lighting expertise, Lichthuis prepares the complete project file, from exact fixture specifications to the technical layout on the plan.

This way, Lichthuis doesn’t just take the work off your hands, but you also save valuable time.
Certainly. A good lighting plan stands or falls with correct execution.

Lichthuis provides your installer with clear diagrams and can provide technical advice during installation. This way, you do not have to handle technical questions about connections yourself and the execution on-site continues to run smoothly.
Lichthuis starts from the architecture rather than the fixtures.

Lichthuis looks at your spatial layout, sightlines, material choices, and the way natural light influences your design.

The light designers at Lichthuis think along with you and look for lighting that reinforces the essence of your architecture.
Certainly. Lichthuis will use the existing lighting plan as a starting point and work with you to translate the lighting points into the right fixtures.

In doing so, Lichthuis considers not only the technical side, but also the atmosphere, materials, and architecture of your design.
Yes. Light is our passion and we love to share that knowledge.

Do you want to deepen your knowledge of light and technology as an interior architect? Then you can make an appointment with Lichthuis owner and designer Joris Van Olmen. He is happy to share his experience and knowledge with you.
