Guide 01
Programming the brief
List activities, hours of use, and surfaces that must read true. Note artwork or objects that deserve dedicated focus.
Guide 02
Circuit logic
Separate ambient, accent, and decorative circuits. Plan switching zones that match how people move, not just where joists run.
Guide 03
Fixture families
Choose a narrow palette of families and finishes so the room feels edited—even when sources are diverse.
Documentation habits
Maintain a simple schedule: location, type, lamp, driver, control, and dimming protocol. Future you—and anyone maintaining the space—will thank present you.
