AKLD Lighting Design

Anne Kustner Lighting Design, Ltd. (AKLD), is a preeminent award-winning architectural lighting design studio for Corporate, Hospitality, Municipal, Houses of Worship, Universities, Exteriors, and High-End Residential projects.  We work with all members of the Design and Building teams so as to provide that best quality light in the most economical manner.  AKLD is a member of the IALD, and neither sells nor installs, products.  Nor do we receive any type of payment for the fixtures, or controls that we specify. We always have our clients "best interest"​ in mind when specifying, fixtures, lamps, lenses, and controls.  We are both a DBE and WBE Certified  Corporation, and work on projects throughout North and Central America.

The designers at Anne Kustner Lighting Design thoroughly review a project based on architectural drawings, design renderings, program narratives, existing site visits and most importantly face to face meetings with the client, architect and interior designer to understand the lighting design direction.  While a variety of solutions exist for a project, the design team creatively builds on the ideas from the architectural design and their participation in IES and IALD events to develop a successful design scheme.  With constantly evolving technologies, the use of lighting controls, stricter codes and regulations, and economic and environmental considerations, a lighting designer has become an integral part of the design team.

All of our Senior Designers are LEED AP and have worked on a number of LEED projects, including LEED platinum projects.  Our clients benefit from our review and application of research studies for a variety of environments.
