The Reveal · 5:42 pm

Your home already has good bones.

The Reveal · 8:16 pm

Most people only ever see half of it.

The Reveal · 9:30 pm

We design the other half.

02 · Day / Night

Same house. Different hour.

Drag the line across the property. Then switch the design — a quiet, minimal scheme or the fully lit showcase. Both are drawn for this home, not pulled from a catalog.

Concept render — day to night.

03 · The Design Language

Three kinds of light. One composition.

01 / 03

UPLIGHTING

Architecture, not floodlights.

Narrow beams graze stone and brick from the base, so the texture carries the light — columns, gables and corners read as form, never as a wall of glare.

02 / 03

PATHWAY

Guidance, not glare.

Shielded, low pools of light staggered down the walk. You see the stone underfoot — never the lamp itself.

03 / 03

MOONLIGHTING

Downlight through the canopy, like moonlight.

Fixtures set high in mature trees throw soft, dappled shadow across lawn and drive. The source disappears; the evening stays.

2700 Kelvin. Always warm. Never blue.
04 · The Craft

Installed like it was built with the house.

01

Solid brass fixtures

Cast brass, not powder-coated aluminum. It weathers to a patina and disappears into the planting.

02

Buried wire

Direct-burial cable trenched below the bed line — nothing on the mulch, nothing for an edger to find.

03

Transformer sizing

Loads calculated run by run, with headroom, so the last fixture on the line is as bright as the first.

04

Lifetime adjustment visits

Trees grow. Beds change. We come back at night and re-aim the design for as long as you own the home.

05 · Investment

Three ways to own the evening.

Every nightscape is designed to the property, so final numbers follow the site walk.

Tier I

The Entry

The front of the home, composed. The arrival, handled properly.

  • Entry & front door
  • Front walkway

Zones covered

  • All elevations, 360°
  • Drive, walks & steps
  • Canopy moonlighting throughout
  • Terrace, pool & outdoor living
  • Zoned scenes & astronomical control

HIDDEN CONDITIONS — Design pricing assumes normal soil, accessible planting beds and an available exterior GFCI circuit. Conditions that cannot be seen before work begins — rock, buried debris, undocumented utilities or irrigation, hardscape boring, or electrical service upgrades — are documented, priced and approved in writing before any additional work proceeds.
