A research-driven architectural lighting practice that develops methodologies for designing architecture through light.
Based in Rotterdam, working internationally
We integrate daylight, spatial organization, and electric lighting from the earliest design stages
to shape spatial hierarchy, perception, and human well-being

The studio approaches light as
a form-giving architectural
parameter rather than a final
layer applied to space.

About
Tactile Architectural Lighting Design is a Rotterdam-based practice founded by architect and lighting designer Farah Naser.
With over 12 years of international experience, Farah began her career as an architect on large-scale projects across Europe, and the Middle East before specializing in architectural lighting.
This combined background enables the studio to bridge architecture and lighting, integrating daylight, materiality, spatial organization, and electric lighting into a unified design strategy.
The practice works across residential, hospitality, workplace, public realm, and research-driven projects exploring light as a form-giving element.
