Originally established in 1992 Speirs and Major Associates was formed from the merger of Jonathan Speirs and Associates and Speirs and Major (Lighting Architects Group).

From our two studios in London and Edinburgh we offer a full range of professional lighting design services, from daylight and sunlight analysis to artificial lighting design and specification. We have completed a wide variety of award-winning projects for both public and private clients. They include corporate headquarters, museums and exhibitions, hotel and retail developments, transport projects and religious buildings. We also have extensive experience of working on lighting masterplans, public realm and landscape projects, bridges, towers and other special iconic structures and have been commissioned to produce a number of light-art installations.

Project values have ranged from £50,000 to over £3 billion, with lighting specifications from under £10,000 to £20 million. We have worked in the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East, North America and Asia.

In all aspects of our work we observe the highest standards of professionalism. As independent lighting designers we are free from any commercial ties to companies involved in the manufacture, supply or installation of lighting equipment. We closely follow the recommended standards of conduct of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) and the European Lighting Design Association (ELDA) of which we are Corporate Members.

We strongly believe that our reputation is founded not only on our creative ability but also on our skill in making a contribution to a project which extends far beyond the capital investment in the lighting systems.
