The Restrepo Group
Every company in the Restrepo Group has been personally vetted by Michael Restrepo and his team over years of collaboration on real projects. We don't maintain a referral list. we maintain a standard. These are firms we've worked alongside on dozens of builds, renovations, and installations, and whose work we stake our reputation on.
When you hire through the Restrepo Group, you're not getting a name off a list. You're getting a company that has already proven. on our most demanding projects. that they deliver the same caliber of work our clients expect from us. We coordinate directly with every partner to ensure timelines align, communication flows, and the outcome meets the standard we've set across every discipline.
Tirschwell & Co.
Why Tirschwell Is in the Restrepo Group
Lighting design and lighting control are two halves of the same experience. The most sophisticated Lutron or Ketra system in the world can only deliver what the lighting design allows. Fixture selection, beam angles, color temperatures, layering. these decisions determine whether a space feels significant or merely adequate.
Tirschwell & Co., founded in 1999 with offices in New York and Beverly Hills, approaches lighting as a bespoke art form. They build full-scale physical mock-ups to test designs before installation. a level of care that is vanishingly rare. Their project list includes 432 Park Avenue, One Vanderbilt, and commissions for architects including Peter Marino, Tadao Ando, Maya Lin, and Shelton Mindel.
We've collaborated with Tirschwell on projects where the lighting design elevated everything else. including our control programming. When their design is the foundation, our automation achieves its full potential. That symbiosis is why they're in the group.

Working Together
How It Works When You Hire Through Us
On projects where Tirschwell handles lighting design and we handle the control system, the collaboration is tight. Their fixture specifications inform our dimming protocols, scene programming, and load calculations. Their design intent guides every transition and schedule we program. We've done this together enough times that the handoff is consistent.
If your project demands architectural lighting at the highest level. and the control system to match. let us coordinate with Tirschwell from the start. The combined result is something neither firm achieves alone.
Part of the Restrepo Group: When you work with Tirschwell & Co. through us, our teams coordinate directly. shared timelines, aligned standards, and a single point of accountability through Restrepo Innovations. We've built this network over years of collaboration specifically so our clients never have to wonder whether the electrician, builder, or designer they've been referred to will deliver at the same level we do. They will.
