The power of light is in its malleability: how it reflects, refracts and sculpts controls and enhances the overall perception of a room
and the objects in it. It’s the ultimate mood setter, the silent partner in an architectural or landscape design, the hidden force that
creates ambiance and brings a room, garden or courtyard to life. Light can shape or envelop a space. It can sculpt and enrich an
environment to give the people in it a comfortable, safe and pleasant feeling. Where you focus or direct it guides the experience. The
interdependence and integration is key to any successful project, putting the final touches on your nocturnal setting. This requires
a holistic approach that combines technical excellence and creativity to put the ‘wow’ in a perfect nocturnal setting. Make the
surroundings glow. Make the people in them shine.
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. 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. To achieve this, a project approach is divided in three main acts, each divided but strongly connected
with each other:
Illuminating
ARCHITECTURE
Illuminating SPACES
Illuminating NATURE
