Architectural lighting incorporates houses and outdoor structures into a total, seamless landscape design. Whether you want to feature your home, or make it a feature of total landscaping, there is so much that good lighting can add in terms of shadow, silhouette, and interest. You will see that our designs “bring home” the contribution of a house to the total landscaping experience.

landscape and completes a new design

If you’ve got it, flaunt it
Most homes in our island communities have a feature or two that are worth drawing attention to. Light that shoots upward or down can make what is interesting about your house a point of interest. Light can also create a feature where none exists. Just as architectural lighting makes a point; it can change a point of view. Just as we draw attention to trees, bushes and garden arrangements, your light design can alter perspective, change shapes, boost textures and set a mood. Lights can be activated by timers, motion detectors, photo-electric cells, or traditional switches if you prefer.

There are an endless variety of fixtures for architectural lighting. Your design may use a few or all of them. Here are a few:


Wall light can direct illumination up, down or both. It is a wonderful way to create interest on a wall that has no outstanding features. Some homeowners like it because it is not “sticking out of the ground”.

Recessed lighting functions as fully as any fixture, with the benefit of disappearing during daylight hours, if you don’t want any interruption to your greenscape. Recessed options make excellent step lights and can be dramatic along a paver pathway or driveway.

Patio lighting often makes use of architectural lighting to make outdoor living space bright enough for activities but soft enough for a peaceful evening outdoors. By reflecting some light off of a home onto the patio, you achieve a subtleness that is accompanied by diffused sources to complete the illumination of patio spaces.

Inground lights explain themselves, and have multiple uses. For plantings and shrubbery close to the ground, as well as for ground cover, having the fixture flush with the earth avoids any interruption in the vista of the garden you have worked so hard to achieve.

A bollard light encases the bulb in a vertical post. Think of the post that a ship ties up to at a dock. Bollard lighting is available in most vertical shapes, from round to square. A modern cousin is the light column, which generally has more glass than a bollard.

Light posts are classic, and are different from a bollard because the light sits atop the post rather than built in as part of the post.

We will show you architectural lighting we have designed
Let’s schedule a night tour of some of the St Simons and Sea Island homes we have graced with outdoor lighting. We think it is the best way to trigger ideas and to explain the terms we use to describe what’s possible for your home. We are a full-service firm, so we provide expert installation of the lighting scheme you select. With our professional architectural lighting design and installation, you avoid that “runway lighting” look you sometimes see, where all of the fixtures are in a straight line and offer only utility, not beauty.
