A note from
the principal.

I design light for houses. Before this I spent thirteen years at Apple, and the taste and the standard of finish I learned there came with me.

The practice began with the remodel of my own house, where I watched good lighting, good shades, and good controls fail to add up to good evenings because no one was responsible for the whole. I started Cordelia Works to be responsible for the whole.

The method is simple. Every design is simulated before it is proposed, and documented so the people building it are never guessing. Once everything is installed, the last step is an evening in the house, tuning the result in place. The practice sells design and nothing else, so what you are buying is judgment.

If you are thinking about your own house, or you are an architect or an integrator with a project on the table, I would be glad to talk.
