NEXTCONTRAST is a lighting design studio dedicated to enhancing and protecting architecture through light. Founded by Amie Schulenburg, we believe that even the most carefully crafted spaces can fall short when lighting is an afterthought.

We integrate lighting early, document it thoroughly, and make every decision - from beam placement to dimming - intentional. Our approach preserves hierarchy, materiality, and atmosphere, ensuring spaces perform exactly as imagined.

Partnering with architects and designers who value clarity, craft, and restraint, NEXTCONTRAST transforms projects into environments that are not just functional, but experienced. Through thoughtful, experience-driven lighting design, we create spaces that feel deliberate, immersive, and unforgettable.
