Beautiful illumination need not be confined to terra firma. With his background in scuba diving, Managing Partner Stephen Cannella has explored underwater lighting through his film career, and is now taking that expertise to permanent lighting installations for aquariums, docks, and underwater work spaces. As with any harsh environment, designing for underwater and wet locations puts a heavy burden on the technical execution phase of the project. Employing a design firm that has the ability to be hands on during the physical installation and ensure it is executed to plan can make all the difference in a system’s functionality. Synapse prides itself on being one of the very few firms that can confidently bring a creative and functional solution to demanding projects both above and below the water line.
