Who We Are
18 Degrees is a specialist lighting design studio delivering intelligent, sustainable solutions across architecture, interiors and the built environment. Founded in 2009, we’ve built a reputation for collaborative working, technical precision and design that quietly elevates the experience of space.
What We Do
We work across sectors, from commercial workplaces to residential, retail, and education, with a growing portfolio of public realm and infrastructure projects. We are also at the forefront of circular lighting strategy through our 18 Circular model, helping clients reduce carbon, cost and complexity.
WHAT WE BRING
Our design process is tailored and rigorous. We engage early, ask the right questions, and guide clients through every stage from concept design to final commissioning. Whether leading a project or integrating within an established team, we aim to deliver lighting that performs in practice, not just on paper.
OUR TEAM
We’re a team of designers, engineers and collaborators with a range of experience across architecture, lighting, engineering and project delivery. We’re hands-on and responsive; our track record means we’re trusted on complex, large-scale projects.
