Our Studio
GABLER YOUNGSTON is an award-winning architectural lighting design firm founded by Morgan Gabler and Jim Youngston. Morgan and Jim have more than 50 years’ combined professional experience, contributing to over 800 architectural lighting projects in that time, and have worked as a team for 20 years. Gabler-Youngston is the result of a shared vision for improved environments through creative lighting design and thorough documentation.
OUR PURPOSE
Lighting design studies the interactions of volume, materials, user needs, and illumination. A successful design responds to and reinforces architectural elements without overwhelming them. As partners, Morgan and Jim respond to the needs of clients through a collaborative process. We work with designers and owners as our collaborators to create an aesthetically pleasing, practically functional design that is also maintenance and budget friendly. Ours is an encompassing approach interconnecting all the pieces of the architectural puzzle, and resulting in a truly integrated design.
