The brief

The owners wanted the house to feel welcoming from the street at night without looking like a hotel. Every light had to serve the architecture: plaster, timber and stone.

Lighting approach

Wall lights either side of each opening draw soft scallops on the plaster and mark the entrance.

In the garden, in-ground uplights pick out the olive trees and leave the sky dark.
