Isometrix was set up by Arnold Chan, an architect trained at the Architectural Association, in 1984. Its architectural approach to lighting design – visualizing in three dimensions and creating a hierarchy of light effects to enhance the spatial flow of buildings and their interiors – distinguishes Isometrix from the work of traditional lighting engineers.
Lighting is never an afterthought introduced to solve a problem emerging at the end of a project, but a fundamental part of a three-dimensional design process, which ultimately provides a building with its unique and special identity.
Isometrix has worked with architects and designers with very differing stylistic approaches. It does not have a house style of its own but aims to bring out the best in any design whether overtly rational and purist or symbolic and theatrical. It utilizes equipment at the forefront of lighting technology working with the leading manufacturers in specific areas of expertise and designing or adapting equipment to the exacting requirements of each particular project. This technical expertise and in-depth knowledge of the marketplace benefits clients in achieving cost-effective solutions to all their projects.
Isometrix has design studios in London and Hong Kong.
