Masters of Landscape Lighting
ABOVE: Perched above the Puget Sound with sweeping water and mountain views, The Highlands
Estate in Shoreline, Washington, is a breathtaking example of how professional outdoor lighting
can elevate luxury architecture and natural landscapes. This expansive property features a custom
lighting design that includes pathway and driveway lighting, architectural uplighting, tree canopy
illumination, and subtle perimeter lights that enhance security and nighttime visibility without
overwhelming the environment. Using soft warm white tones and Northwest Outdoor Lighting's
signature Sunset Tone fixtures, the outdoor spaces come alive after dusk.
LEFT: The warm, soft glow of ground fixtures washes over the estate's cobblestone driveway. The
strategic placement of the lights not only enhances the texture and pattern of the brickwork but
also creates a dramatic yet inviting entrance. The elegant fountain is delicately illuminated, casting
a serene light that ripples across the surface of the water. The surrounding foliage is gently backlit
to create depth and contrast, highlighting the natural beauty of the trees and shrubs without
overpowering them.
FACING PAGE: The estate's resort-inspired pool is transformed into a tranquil retreat, with the subtle
interplay of light and reflection adding depth and a sense of tranquility. Soft lighting around the pool
ensures safety while maintaining the ambience.
