Masters of Landscape Lighting
THIS PAGE: Illuminating a formal garden begins with the allée of trees, where ambient lighting
gently defines the path. The softly lit bench, silhouetted in the distance, becomes a luminous focal
point — an invitation for the eye, and the imagination, to wander through the space.
FACING PAGE: At the heart of the garden, an ornate urn stands as the sculptural centerpiece. Subtle
perimeter lighting creates layers of dimension and depth, adding a sense of quiet drama and visual
intrigue to the composition.
