For over 25 years, architectural lighting with international project experience

Without strategic lighting consultation, commercial projects lose orientation, impact, and identity.

In commercial and architectural projects, there is often a lack of a clear lighting strategy. Design, standards, and cost-effectiveness are considered separately, causing light to lose its aesthetic and functional impact.

AK Lichtdesign develops precise lighting concepts with a clear architectural idea and utilizes light as a strategic tool for orientation, brand impact, emotional staging, and sustainable project quality.

This is how light planning is created at AK Lichtdesign

Reviews

Insights into projects where thoughtful lighting design visibly enhances architecture and makes atmosphere palpable.

  • I was alerted to the collaboration by my husband. Over the past twelve years, we have successfully completed three planning phases together. Andreas Kistner is truly exceptional to me: passionate, reliable, creative, and absolutely trustworthy. The added value is particularly evident in the harmonious and atmospheric lighting of our hotel, Die Halde, as well as in the Bruggaa restaurant. The coordination with all trades went smoothly, and the Casambi control system was excellently implemented. Everything was realized exactly as discussed. An unconditional recommendation.

    CEO Hotel The Hill

  • I became aware of Andreas Kistner through our architect. His designs convinced me immediately. The support throughout the entire project was consistently positive, and all commitments were fully met. The lighting design specifically highlights spaces and tells a clear design story, including coherent color concepts. I am very happy to recommend AK Lichtdesign.

    Nicole Deibel

    Director Hotel am Park

  • We found AK Lichtdesign through Google and were initially unsure if our house was suitable for it. However, right from the first appointment, it became clear how precisely and sensitively Andreas Kistner perceives spaces. The planning and support were excellent, with noticeable passion and openness. Even after two years, we are still thrilled with the results every day. A clear recommendation without reservations.
