ABOUT US
We design lighting that transforms architecture into emotion.
OUR STORY
ATL Designer Lighting was born from a simple belief — that lighting should do more than illuminate. It should define a space, enhance its architecture, and evoke emotion.
Based in Christchurch, we design and specify bespoke lighting solutions for residential, commercial, and architectural projects across Canterbury and beyond.
Every project we take on is guided by collaboration, creativity, and technical precision — ensuring your lighting doesn’t just fit the brief, but elevates it.
OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
We see lighting as a form of storytelling — shaping mood, texture, and movement through the interplay of light and shadow. Our work bridges the gap between art and function, pairing innovative technology with thoughtful design.
From concept sketches to 3D visualisation and smart automation, we design lighting that complements the architecture and the way people live within it.
MEET SIMON
Lighting Designer & Creative Director
Leading ATL’s design direction, Simon brings more than a decade of experience across residential, commercial, and large-scale lighting projects.
His background in both design and electrical fields allows him to approach each project with creativity and technical clarity — ensuring every fitting, effect, and angle of light works in harmony with the overall vision.
Simon’s approach is hands-on and personal. He works closely with clients, architects, and builders to ensure every project feels uniquely considered and precisely executed.
