Inspired Outdoor Living
PREVIOUS PAGE: Illuminated by one overhead fixture, this George Segal Woman with Sunglasses on Bench painted
bronze sculpture gazes into the landscape of a Los Angeles home. Segal's life-size human forms express the
"fragility" of the human condition. Our well-positioned fixture with subtle lighting techniques enhances its
powerful presence.
TOP LEFT: Arriving guests receive a warm greeting from this stand of California sycamores as they enter this
beautiful estate in Mandeville Canyon. The soft and subtle downlighting techniques make for a comfortable
stroll once darkness falls. The neighboring property is no longer visible.
TOP RIGHT AND BOT TOM: Inviting chaise lounges offer the perfect opportunity to relax and view the reflection
of the beautiful pool patio and majestic sycamores at the opposite end of the pool. The arched sycamore trunk
is home to a tree swing for dreamers to gaze into the stars. The illumination of the large sycamore trees provides
a sense of scale and depth to the pool patio structure at the far end of the pool and adds volume to the space.
FACING PAGE: Large clustered sycamores form an artistic backdrop at the distant end of the pool. Stunning
reflections double the trees' visual form when viewed from the pool patio structure. Aentive fixture placement
and shroud positioning allow the tree cluster to become one—without distracting lamp glare.
