Austin Architectural Lighting & Shade Design
We bring 25 years of architectural lighting & shade design expertise to Austin’s most distinguished custom homes and significant renovations. We work across the Austin metro — from Westlake and Barton Creek to Lake Austin, Steiner Ranch, and the Hill Country — designing layered lighting systems and motorized shade solutions that complement Austin’s unique blend of modern architecture and Texas landscape.

Our Services
Residential Lighting Design
Expert lighting for every room — from intimate dining to energizing kitchens, spa-like bathrooms to layered living areas. We calculate lumens for function, then design for beauty. Our lighting plans integrate with your architecture and create the feeling you want in every space.
Motorized Window Shades & Curtains
Climate-smart shading solutions from Crestron, Lutron, and Screen Innovations. Roller shades, roman shades, outdoor-rated solar screens, and custom drapery — all motorized and integrated with your lighting and integrated control system. Perfect for managing Texas heat and glare.
Integrated Lighting Control
Whole-home Lutron and Crestron systems that bring order and beauty to lighting. Custom scenes for different times of day, automated schedules, presence detection, and control from keypads, app, or voice — all coordinated to work together.
Landscape Lighting Design
Extend your outdoor entertaining with professional landscape lighting from industry leaders like Garden Light LED and FX Luminaire. Weather-resistant fixtures, 20-year warranties, and integration with your indoor system.
Lighting Fixtures & Specification
Premium fixtures from DMF, Lucetta, Visual Comfort, WAC, and other luxury manufacturers. We curate options that fit your aesthetic and budget, then specify and coordinate them into your overall design.
The C4 Approach
We partner with your architect, interior designer, and builder from day one. Our process ensures every decision — fixture locations, control zones, shade types, automation scenes — is coordinated and intentional. Nothing is left to chance. We work on luxury custom homes where quality and attention to detail matter, and where lighting and shade design should be as thoughtful as the architecture itself.
With 25+ years of experience, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We bring that knowledge to every Austin project, whether you’re building new, renovating significantly, or improving what you have.
