Every landscape project has several components and different functions. Each setting
needs to be illuminated in a specific way so that when the parts come together to form a
whole, people have the feeling of walking onto the set of a play that reveals itself in different
scenes. In short, there’s no such thing as perfection, only perfect lighting: the right lighting
fixtures for the right effect for the right application. To achieve this, a project approach is
divided in three main acts: function, architecture and nature, each divided but strongly
connected with each other. Throughout this process, luminaires are a designer’s tools,
applied to fit into their intended environment, to enhance it, and to stand the test of time.
FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING
Spaces such as parking lots, driveways, squares
and walkways, require a specific lighting
approach to serve a practical purpose: enhancing
visibility and lighting up areas according to
what’s required of them. Illuminating functional
areas plays a crucial role in creating an efficient,
comfortable and safe environment.
ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING
Façades, colonnades, sculptures, building
materials are the architectural elements that
give a project and landscape its uniqueness.
Illuminating these surfaces as an ensemble as
well as bringing attention to the smallest details
defines the look and feel of a space, directly
influencing its perception.
ILLUMINATING NATURE
Bushes, trees, gardens and greenery are
obviously an integral part of landscape design.
The illumination of each different natural
element, throughout its evolution and seasons,
highlights the beauty of nature in its darkest
hours. When light is properly cast in the natural
environment, it heightens your senses and can
take you on an enchanting adventure.
