Masters of Landscape Lighting
ABOVE: Custom color-changing cup lights transform a synthetic putting green into an interactive
nighttime feature, allowing the space to shift from subtle accent lighting to playful, game-based
experiences for homeowners and their guests.
TOP LEFT: In a region known for tall hedges and privacy, lighting is used selectively to create contrast
and discovery. The exterior of this Palm Beach residence remains intentionally dark, while the interior
garden glows softly beyond the hedge, revealing the home as one moves through the landscape.
BOTTOM LEFT: A sculptural element anchors the center of the koi pond in Miami Beach, illuminated as
the primary focal point while surrounding trees and vegetation are layered to frame the scene, creating
depth, reflection, and visual calm.
FACING PAGE LEFT: The strategic use of color lighting allows individual art pieces to stand apart from
their surroundings, ensuring they read as intentional focal points within the landscape rather than
blending into the background.
FACING PAGE TOP RIGHT: Low-glare illumination surrounds a natural koi pond designed for swimming,
enhancing visibility and atmosphere while preserving a tranquil environment that remains comfortable
for both people and fish.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM RIGHT: Multiple lighting techniques work together to define this pool
environment. Uplighting, downlighting, and ground-mounted fixtures balance the space while a
sculptural centerpiece is gently highlighted from above, anchoring the composition.
