Residential Lighting Designer

Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design (HLB) is an internationally recognized design firm focused on architectural lighting for both interior and exterior environments. We are inspired by the artistry of light and its impact on the natural and architectural environment. We infuse our core values of artistry, legacy, curiosity, balance, and integrity into every project.

In our niche within HLB, our residential team specializes in high-end residential lighting design. From a project’s inception to the fine tuning at a project’s completion, we oversee our designs from start to finish. With over 1,000 projects under our belt, we have an incredibly diverse portfolio with projects that have graced the cover of national and international publications. As IALD lighting designers, we are free to specify the best products from any manufacturer. Where some designers stamp out designs, we look at each new project as an opportunity to do something we’ve never done before. We are always pushing the envelope of design creativity, while ensuring that our designs are well balanced and tailored to the needs of each project.

In this position you will be working hand-in-hand with design teams, owners, and construction teams to create balanced, well-thought-out spaces. You will find yourself interacting with some of the most powerful people in the world.
