Francis J. Krahe, President
Mr. Krahe established Francis Krahe & Associates in 1983 to provide a innovative approach to lighting design. As an architectural engineer he shaped the firm to pursue his perspective on the relationship between quality design and the business of architecture and building construction. Since the firm’s inception, his understanding of the impact and power of dramatic, creative lighting solutions has produced projects where lighting has enhanced and embellished the architecture. These same projects were equally successful in meeting the clients’ budget and schedule. Mr. Krahe’s responsibility is to insure that every project meets or exceeds the client’s expectations. Mr. Krahe provides both design and management supervision for all aspects of the firm. Key design and business decisions are discussed, reviewed and approved by Mr. Krahe. The unique design quality delivered by Francis Krahe & Associates is a result of his lighting design solutions for a spectrum of projects.
