We are an Architectural Lighting design studio. We help Architects, Interior Designers, Builders, Housemakers & anyone else making a space, light it up well!
At its heart, Whatsthis Studios is an endeavor that takes the process of questioning with great sincerity.
Every "What's-this?" is a moment to strip away assumptions, redefine boundaries, and explore how light can instill new meaning into spaces that begin in darkness. For us, light is not just a design element; it’s a way of shaping environments, creating narratives, and deepening the experience of place.
As architectural lighting designers, we collaborate closely with architects and interior designers to reveal and enhance the aesthetic and emotional intentions behind each project. Using light as our medium, we bring form, depth, and texture into focus, transforming spaces and inviting visitors to connect with them on an elevated sensory level.
Rooted in energy conservation and environmental responsibility, we are committed to sustainable design practices. Working alongside LEED and WELL consultants, we help clients reach their sustainability objectives through energy-efficient lighting and advanced control systems.
