217 Jeremy Sanders founded Outdoor Ambiance on a principle that resonates with architects, designers, and discerning homeowners alike: Outdoor lighting should reveal beauty with the same intention and craft invested in every other design decision. With formal training in landscape design and certifications in outdoor lighting, he built a firm that approaches illumination as both a technical discipline and a compositional art. Outdoor Ambiance specializes in estate properties and sophisticated residential projects where lighting must integrate seamlessly with architectural vision and landscape design. The company collaborates directly with project teams — architects, landscape designers, interior designers — ILILOUTDOOR AMBIANCE DENVER, CO Outdoor Ambiance ABOVE: Soft, wide wash lighting combined with carefully positioned downlights illuminates this driveway's dramatic sculptural tree and diverse desert plantings. The gentle layering technique reveals the unique twisted trunk structure and varied textures of cacti and succulents while maintaining a welcoming, moonlit ambience. FACING PAGE: Layered lighting techniques showcase the desert landscape's dramatic textures through strategic uplighting on the cacti and tree trunks, complemented by downlighting from the canopy above. Varied Kelvin temperatures distinguish plant species, while tunable fixtures create controlled brightness levels that enhance natural shadows and depth throughout the composition. Photography by Jeremy Sanders bringing expertise in how light interacts with materials, shapes spaces, and guides experience. Their certified designers understand beam optics, color rendering, and the nuanced relationship between illumination and shadow that creates depth rather than just light. Each project receives meticulous attention: site evaluation, custom design, and precision installation using professional- grade systems. The result is lighting that enhances what great design has already established, revealing texture, framing views, and transforming properties into their most compelling expression after dark.
