Holistic lighting design

Our lighting designers help a person focus and a guest feel a sense of escape. They foster wellbeing in the workplace and incite euphoria at a big game. They encourage contemplation in a sacred space and curiosity in an artist’s world. They design the visual medium for whatever your urban vision.  

Human-centric design is our anchor. We create ambience, amplify a mood and improve an experience to help users interact with a space in a purposeful way.  

Drawing from a collective of lighting specialists from across the Tetra Tech High Performance Buildings Group, we gather the best team to achieve your goals. Our independent advice lasts the duration of your project – from design to construction and commissioning. We work with your whole team of architects, planners, engineers and more.  

It’s our collaborative people and technical excellence that enable our stand-out lighting, blending humanity, art and science to celebrate architecture, enrich a city and light up the everyday.

Where it all began

While working on complex hospitality and public projects in the late 1970s, one of NDY’s principals – an electrical engineer with a lighting design diploma – became increasingly involved in providing specialist lighting design services. Frustration developed after his team’s work was simply categorised under the broad term ‘electrical engineering’ and not treated as a specialised design discipline.

In 1986 NDY secured engineering and lighting design services for the Sheraton Mirage Hotel. This project was the launching pad for NDYLIGHT as a distinct entity focused purely on lighting design.

Now as we near our 4th decade, and with design projects in virtually every part of Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Europe, and with active involvement in every major lighting body, NDYLIGHT if focused in bringing together art and science to create places for people.
