About Us
Our Story
SKR Lighting Design was set up by Neil Skinner in 2012. We provide a balanced philosophy of highly creative and technical lighting design consultancy service from ‘Concept to Completion’.
Our experience has been built up over 24 years in the UK and International arena to include a full range of architectural lighting design and multi-media design.
We provide a wide range of lighting design services from as small as a residential extension for individual private clients to giant shopping malls in international locations.
As the Director of SKR, Neil Skinner has experience working on and travelling to projects in over 20 countries on projects as widely diverse as cruise ships, transport, government buildings, theatres, bridges, cathedrals, residential, ancient & listed buildings, retail, hospitality, education, public realm, museums, art galleries and events.
Light reveals space, form, texture and colour, while creating ambience and mood, whether it is daylight or artificial light.
Our Vision
Light and lighting are many things to many people. It can be said to be an eclectic merging of Art and Science. It directly effects the psychology, physiology and biology of all living things and therefore understanding this force of nature for human benefit is very important.
Our Principles
SKR is able to produce lighting design work while collaborating with all members of a client’s design team including architects, interior designers, landscape designers, artists, mechanical and electrical engineers, cost and quantity surveyors and project managers.
In our view a lighting design is not complete until it is fully commissioned on site, therefore SKR is highly experienced to closely monitor and collaborate with on-site works of all associated contractors installing the project.
Where We Have Worked
We work around the globe, completing or currently undertaking projects in United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Poland, Morocco, China & United Arab Emirates.
