Nick Cramp

Nick leads our Light+Air team and creates environmental strategies and lighting designs for many of our most ambitious projects. 

Starting out as an MEP Engineer, Nick moved into Lighting and Building Physics, working on our earliest lighting and environmental design projects. He now specialises in gallery design and exhibition lighting and captures our philosophy of combining well-controlled daylight with subtle and beautiful artificial lighting. 

He blends scientific analysis and design flair, with attention to physical and emotional wellbeing. His specialist daylighting design for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries at Westminster Abbey saw objects arranged in the space according to their sensitivity to light, with those most delicate located to fall between beams of sunlight, or sit in the shade of columns and corners.

Nick has a flair for explaining the technical in interesting and inspiring ways. He lectures at the Bartlett School of Architecture and CAT (Centre for Alternative Technology) at University College London. He has also participated on awards judging panels including the AJ, RIBA and Lighting Design Awards.
