Architectural Lighting Design Across New England and Beyond

​

Thoughtful lighting. Intentional design.

​

Prism Lighting Design is a boutique architectural lighting design studio specializing in residential, hospitality, and landscape lighting. With offices in Portland, Maine, and Nantucket, Massachusetts, we collaborate with architects, interior designers, builders, and homeowners throughout New England and beyond.

​

We believe exceptional lighting is not defined by how much light is used, but by how thoughtfully it is placed. Our approach considers architecture, natural light, materials, and the relationship between light and shadow to create spaces that are visually comfortable, welcoming, and deeply connected to their surroundings.

​

From private residences and coastal retreats to hotels, restaurants, and wellness destinations, we develop lighting solutions that balance aesthetic intent with technical precision. Our work encompasses architectural lighting concepts, detailed fixture specifications, integrated lighting controls, and support throughout construction.

​

We prioritize carefully concealed light sources, thoughtful illumination of architectural elements, and flexible lighting environments that respond to how spaces are actually experienced. Each design is tailored to the project, with attention to energy use, environmental impact, and the importance of preserving darkness where light is not needed.

​

Our goal is simple: to create lighting that feels as considered as the architecture itself.
