Lutron Lighting Design – Contemporary Home, Newton Abbot

The Brief:

The clients wanted to illuminate their property without the “glare” of mass-produced, metallic fixtures. They sought a solution that felt organic to the landscape while maintaining a strict commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.

The Experience:

We moved away from traditional brass or stainless steel, opting for hand-poured, 75% recycled concrete fittings. These fixtures were crafted by our partner Dan Heap and from his Urbanlicht range, using crushed construction waste and a low-carbon cement binder, resulting in a textured, stone-like finish that ages beautifully and takes on a natural, weathered patina over time. The use of 2700K warmth against the cool grey concrete created a sophisticated feel. To manage the system, we utilised a Lutron Processor and Keypad, also the user-friendly app that allows control of the lighting from anywhere in the world.

Key Features & Technology:

• Eco-Conscious Materials: Fixtures are made from 75% recycled concrete using crushed construction waste.
