Soft, ambient lighting in the courtyards and terraces invites students to gather outdoors in the evenings—blending safety with social opportunity.

Honoring 25 Years of Expertise in Light and Performance

We’re proud to highlight two milestones that reflect the depth of experience and design excellence within our team. Sara McBarnette, marking 25 years in architectural lighting with Apeiro Design, shared insights into the principles and partnerships that have guided her work. Don Guyton, also celebrating 25 years, looked back on career shaping performance spaces, filled with memorable projects and pivotal moments.

Together, their journeys remind us that dedication, insight and teamwork are at the core of what we do.

Lighting with Intention: Patricia Glasow Featured by Landscape Forms

Patricia Glasow, Principal/Executive Vice President of Apeiro Design, was featured by Landscape Forms in a profile highlighting her thoughtful approach to architectural lighting. Titled “Listening, Learning, and Loving a Career in Lighting Design,” the article showcases Patty’s deep commitment to human-centered design, her gracious spirit, and the wisdom gained across her career. As we reflect on the year, we’re proud to see Patty’s voice and values amplified in a way that celebrates both her impact and the heart behind great architectural lighting design.

New San Francisco Office Location

One of our favorite highlights from last year: we officially moved our San Francisco office! After over four decades at our Sansome Street location, we began a new chapter at 1700 Montgomery Street, Suite 215.

Our new space offers beautiful surroundings, great local eateries and has quickly become our new home. Come visit, we’d love to show you around!
