She is extremely professional, timely and talented. As a contractor, we look forward to working with RALD on projects because the documentation will be excellent and the design exceptional. Highly recommend!! **★★★★★ — GRAHAM architecture, Oct. 2014** > As an Architect, lighting my projects is so important. No matter how good my design is, if the spaces are not lit properly, the end result can be a disaster. Lighting is key to evoking mood and a good lighting designer knows how to highlight the best features of the Architecture and Interiors. I have collaborated with Rosemarie on many large custom homes over the years and she is a seasoned professional with years of experience. She always works well with Clients and Contractors. I would highly recommend her to anyone look to illuminate a beautiful home, office or retail space. **★★★★★ — Dawn Cooke, Oct. 2014** > Lighting designer was engaged to bring creative lighting designs for two levels of our home. > > Rose Allaire designed our lower level Gym with repurposed office wall lights that created the feeling of outdoor natural lighting.... Brilliant! > > She chose lighting that adjusts to naturally shift the guests from one space to the next through the house. > > I enjoyed the process, her choices, the finished product. **★★★★★ — Marcia Smalley, Sept. 2013** > My husband and I contacted Rosemarie through Houzz. We were in need of some initial advice since we are in the planning and design phase for a home we'll be building. Rosemarie gave us some invaluable tips and information and was extremely generous with her ideas! Thanks to her, we are making some adjustments now that will save us a lot of time and money down the road. We look forward furthering our partnership with her as our project unfolds ... so very glad we found her! **★★★★★ — John Wooden Interiors, April 2013** > We've worked with Rosemarie on several residential projects over the past few years. She has always been a pleasure to work with, her product knowledge, expertise and creativity has illuminated our work beautifully. Most importantly her lighting designs function well. We were able to achieve the perfect balance of lighting with the fixtures she specified in combination with the decorative fixtures that we designed. Coincidentally the last project we did together just landed the cover and a twelve page spread in LUXE magazine! > > We are looking forward to working together again! > > John Wooden > > John Wooden Interiors **Comment from Rosemarie Allaire Lighting Design:** > Thanks for your kind words John; looking forward to our next collaboration!! **★★★★★ — mreyhani, April 2013** > Lighting designer for a large modernist residential rebuild.
