ABOVE: Viewed from above, the lighting establishes a rhythmic flow through the
landscape of this North Carolina lakefront property. A combination of uplighting
and downlighting defines trees, shoreline, and circulation. The result is a cohesive
nighttime composition that respects the natural setting while providing clarity,
depth, and a sense of order at a large scale.
RIGHT: This aerial view captures the balance between the illuminated oceanfront
residence and its surrounding context, where landscape lighting anchors the
property in the foreground while the Miami Beach skyline provides a luminous
backdrop beyond. The composition layers light across ocean, architecture, and
planting, creating an expansive yet grounded nighttime experience.
FACING PAGE: From an aerial perspective, the lighting design reveals the overall
balance and organization of this Palm Beach estate, where architecture, landscape,
and waterfront elements are composed as a single environment. Illuminated docks
extend the experience onto the water, while carefully layered lighting throughout
the rear of the property unifies the site from edge to edge.
