dpa lighting consultants greatly values its history but concentrates on the present
and future. The Practice was established in 1958 by Architect Derek Phillips, who
qualified at Liverpool University and then went on to complete a Master’s course
in Architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Derek met and worked
with many important Architects who greatly influenced his pioneering activities as
an independent Lighting Consultant. His meetings with Frank Lloyd Wright and Le
Corbusier were particularly inspirational.
The Practice now has studios in Japan, 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 our Practice and close working relationship between our studios
means we 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.
dpa has always been at... the forefront of education about all aspects of the lit
environment and this continues today. Our desire and appetite to continually
learn and share information has always been important, but perhaps with the
current changes in light source technology and environmental legislation is
more important than ever. We have different teams constantly monitoring and
discussing all aspects of the built environment and lighting technology, be it LED
light sources or digital controls and sharing this information with everyone in the
Practice. This commitment to continuous research and debate, both internally
and externally, combined with the talent of our design team ensures that our
Clients receive the most innovative and informed advice today.
Our history and completed projects, which number over 7,000 in 80 different
countries, provide us with an incredible wealth of experience, whilst our appetite
for the present and future ensures that dpa are at the leading edge of lighting
design, pushing creative and technical boundaries whilst always protecting our
Clients interest.
