Masters of Landscape Lighting
ABOVE: These rear windows allow for a rare 200-degree view, and the lighting design was crafted with
this space in mind. With the initial absence of outdoor lighting, the windows turned into large mirrors
reflecting the interior light back into the room and making the space feel cramped. After LUC added
strategic lighting, the room transformed, helping the viewer feel like they were outdoors enjoying nature.
TOP LEFT: Some trees beg to be seen at night. This specimen, located on the front right border of the
property, screamed with character and looked significantly better once LUC combined up and down
lighting.
BOTTOM LEFT: LUC showed their client that it's possible to have the functionality of lighting without
sacrificing the natural beauty of a space. The team celebrated the central Japanese maple with up and
down lighting and lit the surrounding trees, while allowing the client to see their dogs, no matter their
position in the courtyard.
FACING PAGE: When friends and family are greeted in the driveway, there is no rush to go inside. This
seating area is the focal point of the scene. LUC used a single pendant light to illuminate the space from
above, creating a warm, welcoming area in the front of the home that almost beckons the viewer to
come and rest.
