About

A small studio.
One engineer. No layers.

Lighine builds considered websites for architecture and interior design firms. The person you speak with is the person who writes the code.

Why this

Why architecture and interior design?

Architecture and interior design are portfolio-led businesses. The website is the portfolio — and most practices are underselling their work with PDFs, Instagram links, or sites built for a different era.

We understood this problem directly: one of our first clients was an architecture firm. A considered website lifted their enquiry quality in the first month. We decided to focus here.

We are an early-stage studio. That means you get close attention, no agency overhead, and a direct line to the engineer building your site.

The studio

Who you work with.

Ameer Khan

Founder & Engineer

Senior software engineer with six years building production systems — including a vendor management platform that scaled to 1,200+ users. Delivered AI workshops to senior leadership teams. Now building considered websites and workflow systems for architecture and interior design studios, with the same engineering discipline applied to a quieter, more focused problem.

How we work

Four things that guide every project.

Restrained

Every element earns its place. Nothing decorative without purpose.

Honest

We say what we can and cannot do before the project starts.

Engineer-led

The person you talk to is the person who writes the code.

Long-term

We measure success by enquiries your site brings in, not awards it wins.
