ABOVE: Lighting the front door with a light level slightly brighter than the surrounding landscape welcomes unfamiliar guests. A courtyard lies
behind the wooden gate and wall sconces. Multi-trunked olive trees flank the arrival.
FACING PAGE TOP: The illumination of the rhythmic arches in this courtyard stands in contrast to the darkened exterior wall above. Soft downlighting
beautifies the courtyard, and the illumination of the courtyard perimeter walls makes us feel safe and present in the space.
FACING PAGE BOT TOM: Partially opened doors reveal a hint of interest into the additional spaces in the backyard, drawing the viewer's eye
and aention.
