A recessed lighting fixture is a luminaire that is built-into or integrated in the architecture. A recessed luminaire can be as simple as a downlight, however, as a lighting specialist, we love to think further than just that. Knowing that details make the design, we love to think of lighting as an extension of architecture. Good integration of lighting fixtures makes lighting products from mere functional add-ons to visual elements that enhance the architectural experience.

The requirements for lighting concept are a combination of client wishes, architectural vision and legislative norms (like DIN-norms and specifications for listed buildings). Architectural lighting design has the potential to reinforce the way buildings and spaces are perceived, how these are used and how users feel in them. The intention of the architectural concept can be enhanced through lighting.
