About



Tactile Light Architects is an architecture and architectural lighting practice founded by architect and lighting designer Farah Naser.

With over 12 years of international experience, Farah began her career in architecture, working on large-scale projects across Europe and the Middle East, before developing a specialist focus in architectural lighting design.

This combined expertise allows the studio to work seamlessly between architecture and light, integrating daylight, spatial organization, materiality, and electric lighting from the earliest stages of the design process.

The practice works across residential, hospitality, workplace, public realm, and research-driven projects, with a particular interest in how light can shape space, support well-being, and act as a form-giving element within architecture.

Areas of Practice


From residential and workplace environments to public spaces and research initiatives, Tactile works across architecture, interior design, and architectural lighting to create spaces that are functional, atmospheric, and responsive to people and place.

The studio integrates spatial planning, daylight, materiality, and electric lighting into a unified design approach, allowing architecture and light to develop together from the earliest stages.
