TKLD specializes in various areas of lighting design, including:

• Hospitality Lighting: TKLD excels in creating captivating and functional lighting schemes for hospitality environments such as resorts, boutique hotels, fine dining restaurants, and other leisure spaces. We understand the importance of ambiance and guest experience in these settings and crafts lighting solutions that enhance the overall atmosphere while meeting the specific requirements of each venue.

• Facade Lighting: TKLD has expertise in illuminating architectural facades to accentuate their features, create visual interest, and contribute to the nighttime identity of buildings. Whether for commercial, cultural, or residential structures, TKLD designs facade lighting that enhances the building's aesthetic appeal and reinforces its presence within the urban or natural landscape.

• Landscape Lighting: TKLD specializes in landscape lighting design, enhancing the nighttime visual appeal and functionality of outdoor spaces such as parks, gardens, public plazas, and recreational areas.

• LEED Compliant Lighting: TKLD collaborates closely with project teams to ensure that lighting design strategies align with LEED requirements for energy performance, indoor environmental quality, and sustainable design practices. This involves conducting lighting calculations, documenting energy-saving measures, and providing supporting documentation for LEED certification submissions.

By focusing light where it is needed and avoiding excessive spillage into the night sky or neighbouring properties, TKLD contributes to preserving the natural nighttime environment.

These controls help minimize energy usage by ensuring that lights are only activated when needed and adjusted to meet specific lighting requirements.
