“We are delighted with the work that we have done with Enlighten. Enlighten designed the lighting scheme for our Grade II listed shopping arcade, amended it to suit the planners, then helped project manage the installation. Rory and his team are great to work with because they have the right balance of vision and practicality for this type of project. They can see the big picture and convince the board, then work with management, electricians, caretakers to deliver it. It’s a valuable skill to be able to work equally well at all levels.“
“I am very happy with the work undertaken by Enlighten Design in St. Barnabas Cathedral. Rory and his team provided a new panel for switching on the lights. This involves different settings to simplify the use of the lights and enhance and highlight the different areas of the Cathedral. I would be pleased to recommend them to anyone.“
“Enlighten design have been involved in many projects for local churches and Durham Cathedral. They have contributed a wide knowledge of lighting techniques and equipment together with careful and detailed designs. They demonstrate a high degree of professionalism in the integration of new schemes into grade I historic buildings and in accommodating individual requirements and specifications. I look forward to further collaborations in the future and warmly recommend enlighten design for any projects you may be considering.”
“We at Christ Church Lumley wish to place on record our gratitude to Rory, Dan and Katy at Enlighten Design. Their thoughtful, friendly and patient approach during the planning of the improvements to Christ Church was equalled only in the care and professionalism – not to mention humour – in the actual installation and commissioning of the fittings. We have had nothing but positive feedback from congregation and visitors alike.“
“My experience of Enlighten Design has been overwhelmingly positive. The new lighting for our College Chapel has greatly exceeded my expectations, and Rory Marr proved to be both a very skilled designer for a new lighting design for the space, and also an individual of profound sensitivity to the whole vocation of the building, which his new lighting scheme benefits and enhances. For a building of significant architectural merit, his new lighting scheme has proved to be sympathetic and has added to, rather than diminished, a sense of the design of the building as a whole.“
Enlighten Design are a very professional organisation. Their service was very personal and attentive and they skilfully interpreted our needs and suggested a range of solutions. The written report was extensive and thorough, with the options presented with clarity. Having presented the options, the recommendations were measured, indicating awareness of financial constraints.
