In our work in landscape lighting design, we are artists, too. Candlepower and was are our paintbrushes, and the mature trees, intricate gardens, and styled outdoor areas are our canvas. And through our craft, and with close aention to detail, we create an immersive experience — a feeling. We make the artistry of architects, landscape architects, and interior designers not only come alive, but enjoy a second life when night falls by revealing an entirely different ambiance. Together, we create outdoor masterpieces that spark emotions and transport the viewer into a new world. The great Janet Lennox Moyer, my mentor and arguably one of the world's finest landscape lighting designers, said: "It gets dark every night. Landscape lighting offers us the ability to enjoy our landscape and to feel safe and comfortable." She understands that illumination design is part science, part collaboration, and 100% art. In the following pages, I am proud to share with you some of my vast range of landscape lighting projects alongside other leading designers in this space. I invite you to notice the techniques and the fine details and allow yourself to be elevated to a new place. Then, consider the transformative power of light in your life, your home, or your next design project. • Design should embrace the clients' vision and lifestyle. • All designs begin with spatial flow—both horizontal and vertical. • Buildings should be integrated with the site and responsive to sun, wind, and vistas. • Materials, texture, and color provide energy within space. The question I have been asked is, "What makes Marc's designs special?" It is loyalty to his design principles, commitment to the client's vision, and creating a unique home for each and every client. Marc listens to the client's dreams, interprets the dream into architecture, and has that sixth sense of knowing what they want but did not express. The design then is responsive to their lifestyle and personal preferences—this provides the individual WOW factor.
