Lighting design is both an art and a science that requires mastery of a technically difficult yet astonishing medium. When harnessed effectively, lighting serves as a creative extension of architectural design, improving visibility and complementing form.
At Signature Illumination Designs, we understand the role of lighting in architectural design and apply our extensive experience and knowledge of lighting systems to enhance and strengthen the motif of the property. No two properties are the same, so we build a custom lighting solution suited for each unique project.
We begin developing our custom lighting scheme the moment we step on the property. By walking the site and studying the landscape and architectural plans, our design experts absorb the unique characteristics and intricate detailing the environment has to offer. We consider the different colors, shapes and textures of the property and how they exist in the environment. With this knowledge of the property, coupled with our technical acumen and sensitive design technique, we can transform the nightscape of a property.
When building our custom lighting plans, we envision how the property will be used and loved. For this home, that features a variety of gathering areas, a children’s play area, fire pit and eight pools and water features, we considered the various functions our lighting plan needed to serve. The lighting around the children’s play area should provide excellent visibility, security and safety, while the lighting around the fire pit offers ambiance, elegance and a touch of warmth.
Custom lighting plan designed by Signature Illumination Designs for the Arnold Residence
The variety of vantage points for viewing the environment is another important consideration in designing our custom lighting plans. Whether it be from a window in the living room or the entrance of the property, we study every intricate perspective to ensure our lighting plan maximizes the property.
For this residential home, our lighting plan includes innovative lighting techniques that expand the depth of view, deliver ambiance and ensure security and safety throughout the property. We integrated moonlighting to provide a natural glow that casts dramatic shadows throughout the property, giving it a relaxed, resort-style ambiance. Another technique we sensitively incorporated into our plan is downlights. We often use this technique on high-traffic areas to illuminate the space without overpowering, adding an elegant layer of security.
Inspiration board for the Arnold Residence
To bring our custom lighting sketches to life, we develop project inspiration boards. This supplemental element conveys the overall mood, color, form and textures we plan to emphasize in the property. For this home, our inspiration board embodies a resort oasis motif and showcases the various lighting techniques we will incorporate to maximize this property.
Lighting is a form of art; it enhances environments, adds vibrance and establishes mood. When it comes to developing lighting plans, there is no one-size-fits-all. As professional lighting designers and expert electricians, we utilize our years of experience, artistry and knowledge of cutting-edge technology to build 100% custom lighting solutions.
