Light Me The Way Home

The most beautifully designed homes need good light to be able to fully appreciate them. What makes residential lighting “good”? It is much more than selecting a pretty fixture; we have all experienced washroom lighting that shadow our faces, and kitchens with poor or no task lighting. How do we ensure good visibility for all tasks and create beautiful spaces? Good lighting design starts with visual programming of each space, and then incorporates the individual needs and wants of the clients. Residential lighting is personal, diverse, flexible, and must reflect the homeowners. This seminar will explore important lighting principles, and demonstrate their application through case studies of various residential projects. Join award-winning lighting designer Deborah Gottesman as she teaches us how to turn a house into a home through good lighting design!
