Architainment

The world of lighting design is changing rapidly, inspiring new ideas in spatial definition and visual artistry. Tools that were once only relevant to concert and theatrical lighting designers such as moving lights, large scale projectors, strobe lights, LED accent luminaries, and video walls are now being seamlessly integrated by the designers at Synapse into some of today’s most stunning spaces.

Unlike most of the New York area’s architectural lighting design community, the designers at Synapse have strong working backgrounds in the entertainment industry, allowing for a better understanding of what is possible and how to integrate it properly.

Light is among the most essential and effective tools in many industries. Whether directing attention to a retail space, conveying the quality of your service, or strengthening your branding, lighting can provide the dramatic effect required to make a lasting impact.

Architectural

Light defines a space by assisting the observer in perceiving distance and textures. Whether aiming to be true to reality or altering perception, it is the job of a lighting designer to direct the eye’s attention using the art and science of illumination. At Synapse, we can serve as the conduit through which these goals are met, creating positive environments in which people experience a sense of comfort and balance. We believe that, to truly enhance the human experience, designs should add a layer of excitement and intrigue to the spaces in which we live, creating dramatic effects that augment the beauty and functionality of our homes, workplaces and public spaces.

Industrial

At the core of designing for industrial and institutional spaces is a necessity to overcome obstacles, finding the simplest, most seamless solution to properly meet a project’s objectives. With hundreds of manufacturers fabricating specialty luminaries and industrial lighting control systems, Synapse is your key to unlocking what the industry has to offer, allowing us to design lighting systems to operate even under the most extreme conditions.

An underlying but often overlooked requirement for these types of spaces is the need to blend the utilitarian nature of industrial lighting design with the visually appealing aesthetics of thoughtfully planned institutions and public spaces. The need for safe, strong and reliable luminaries does not mean visual appeal must fall to the wayside. Synapse is always mindful of integrating the proper luminary into its environment to facilitate the melding between form and function.
