Why Choose Us?
Lamplight Design Studios is a Charlottesville-based architecture and design firm specializing in accessible, affordable renovations, additions, and new builds.
Unlike larger firms that focus on high-budget, prestige projects, Lamplight Design Studios brings the same level of creativity and professionalism to homeowners, churches, and small businesses in Charlottesville — making great design accessible, collaborative, and affordable with the added clarity of 3D renderings and models.
Our mission is to create designs that are accessible and transformative. We believe in collaboration by partnering closely with clients to turn everyday spaces into homes, workplaces, and communities that uplift lives. We listen first, craft thoughtfully, and deliver beautiful, affordable design rooted in purpose, history, and a sense of place.
So, why choose us? We'll tell you:
1. Over 90% of our work comes from client referrals. 7% of our work comes from repeat clients.
2. As previous clients can attest to in our online reviews, we care about you, the client, and we believe you should be involved every step of the way.
3. Throughout our education we learned that design is a tool used to improve people's lives. We believe great design shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford it - it should be accessible to all.
Our design services offer you the peace of mind that you are working with certified and licensed professionals with a heart for our work. Our commitment to loyalty, honesty, and transparency means you don't stress about your design, and you instead spend your time where it matters most.
From creating a concept of what your design needs to function, crafting the design, navigating the permit process, and being there for you throughout construction, we strive to help our clients complete their projects on time and within their budget.
If your current space is poorly lit, your views aren't what you expected, or the flow of traffic is completely awkward, chances are your previous designers did not take the strategic approach.
If you have a specific way of living for a new space, if you want to capture that one specific view, or if you have a complicated design issue, take advantage of our free consultation. Chances are, we can help.
With Lamplight Design Studios, we give you ideas based around the small, functional details. By thinking through problems unique to your situation, the outcome is a design uniquely suited to how you use your space.
No matter what project you want to bring to the table, our vast range of experience will bring it to life.
At the end of the day, this is your project. It's your space, and it should be your choice. Let us help you along the way.
Because, bottom line:
We love what we do, and you should love your finished project.
