West Coast Modern Excellence

Climate-Engineered Solutions

The Sea-to-Sky corridor presents unique challenges for architectural lighting. From West Vancouver's coastal exposure to Whistler's heavy snowfall, our systems are engineered to perform flawlessly in BC's demanding conditions. We select marine-grade fixtures for waterfront properties, specify snow-rated products for mountain homes, and ensure all installations meet local building codes. Our installation techniques are specifically adapted for local conditions. We use marine-grade stainless steel mounting hardware in coastal areas, implement proper drainage solutions for our wet climate, and ensure all wiring is protected in schedule 40 PVC conduit to prevent damage from moisture and ground movement.

Smart Integration

Modern BC homes demand sophisticated control systems. Our architectural lighting designs integrate seamlessly with home automation platforms, allowing precise control over zones, scenes, and schedules. We implement astronomical timers that automatically adjust to our northern latitude's seasonal light changes, and create custom lighting scenes for different occasions and seasons. For properties in areas like the British Properties or Whistler's Kadenwood, where views are paramount, we carefully program lighting levels to enhance both the architecture and the vista beyond. Our systems can automatically adjust to weather conditions and occupancy, ensuring your home always looks its best while maximizing energy efficiency.
