At a time when we are all spending a lot more time at home, having an outdoor space is a new must-have amenity for many families looking to expand their quarantine worlds. For this Southlake home, that means having a private outdoor space equipped with a personal bocce ball court, beautiful swimming pool, fire pit, and sand volleyball court.
Blount Designs called on Signature Illumination Designs to develop a custom lighting solution that would elevate this one-of-a-kind outdoor environment. Our goal for this Southlake home was to maximize outdoor entertaining by adding soft, subtle points of illumination that establish mood for gathering areas and extend the hours of use of the outdoor amenities.
This year has accelerated the importance of having a private outdoor space where one can relax, unwind and entertain. For this home, we developed a custom lighting solution that would give the residents a tranquil oasis from work and a space to entertain. Our expert lighting designers strategically installed soft lights throughout the property to provide an elegant, warm glow and establish mood. To ensure the space is walkable and safe for guests, we installed cored in concrete path lights that provide illumination and peace of mind.
Over by the bocce ball court, we used our lighting design to define the entertaining space and provide soft points of illumination. We installed uplights in the raised garden beds surrounding the court to create a comfortable and relaxing space. This technique, coupled with the beautiful gabion wall, work to establish a tranquil ambiance and create an inviting entertaining space. We also installed recessed lights into the edge of the bocce ball court to ensure this amenity can be used at any hour of the day.
We extended our custom lighting design to accentuate the front of the home. For the entrance, we focused on creating a familiar lighting scheme that would add curb appeal and increase visibility. Our professional lighting designers installed warm uplights in the landscape to create dramatic shadows and add intrigue. To highlight the unique architectural design of the home, we installed wall sconces. This subtle addition not only provides security lighting but also adds a design element by casting elegant shadows on the side of the home.
Having a private outdoor area has been on the want list for many for years now, but with the pandemic and restrictions in place it has quickly become a need for many. If you are looking to maximize your outdoor space, contact us for a custom lighting scheme to transform your environment.
