The Practice now has studios in Japan, the U.A.E and the UK and a substantial team who focus their thoughts on all aspects of lighting, both natural and artificial. The scale of their Practice and close working relationship between our studios means they have been able to recruit from a wide variety of backgrounds such as Architecture, Urban Design, Interior Design, Product Design, various Engineering disciplines, the Theatre and so on. This broad skill base that now focus solely on architectural lighting design provides DPA with an unparalleled human resource and knowledge to deal with the varying challenges each project demands.
