Steven Allen
Lighting Design Director
National lighting professional specialising in sustainable lighting design. Lighting expert at Grand Designs Live.
I have extensive experience in all aspects of the lighting industry, building up an impressive clientele during my 20 years in the industry.
My strong technical background covering regulatory and technological demands combines perfectly with my talent and passion for design, enabling me to develop creative and sustainable results that pass the test of time.
I work hard to establish long-lasting relationships, helping me to understand clients’ practical requirements, wishes and dreams for their project. I believe that working as a team with our clients enhances great design and ensures excellent results.
With particular interest in residential lighting design, new technologies and lighting controls, I also specialise in 3D lighting renders, emergency lighting and space planning. I conduct lighting energy audits and love working on projects that mix home entertainment with lighting. Keeping up to date with developments is critical to me, meaning I can develop new commercial designs.
Past clients and projects include The Ritz Hotel, M&S, The Hilton group, The Malt Barn Gloucestershire, Manor Farm House Oxford, Newbury Building Society HQ, The Oxford Conference Centre, Westminster City Council, Le Petit Fort, Ascot Racecourse, Parkside Reading.
