Expertise That Transforms

Lighting is Everything

When it comes to creating a luxurious atmosphere, KPK knows that lighting is everything. The industries where proper lighting not only enhances the ambiance of the space, but increases the strategy of the space are our specialty. Hospitality, retail, corporate interiors, architectural lighting design, interiors, exteriors, and landscapes arezjust a few of the realms in which KPK has brought to light.

A Collaborative Approach

We work in close partnership with architects, interior designers, and landscape architects to design lighting that enhances the built environment. Our philosophy prioritizes integration—where architecture remains the focal point, and lighting serves as both a complement and a defining feature. Decorative fixtures become the jewelry of a space, while thoughtfully designed illumination establishes an unforgettable ambiance.

A Legacy of Excellence

Our reputation is built on meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of how lighting influences mood, function, and perception. Driven by innovation and sustainability, our designs showcase an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Kristin’s affiliations with the International Association of Lighting Designers, the Illuminating Engineering Society, and her LEED AP accreditation reinforce our dedication to best practices and forward-thinking solutions.

Bringing Vision to Light

From concept to execution, we transform spaces through the power of light. Whether illuminating a grand hotel lobby, a refined corporate setting, or an immersive retail environment, we create lighting experiences that captivate and inspire.
