TRENDS IN ACTION:
- Integrated Architectural Lighting
Lighting was seamlessly coordinated with exposed ceilings, emphasizing materials without visual clutter. - Warmth & Intimacy
Layered, warm-toned lighting creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere for gathering and relaxation. - Subtle Statement Fixtures
Decorative fixtures add quiet impact, complementing the architecture and surrounding views.
ADDITIONAL LIGHTING STRATEGIES:
Dark Sky & Wildlife Sensitivity
Exterior lighting is directed only at structures to minimize light pollution and protect the natural setting.
Adaptive Lighting
Electric lighting responds to changing daylight conditions, enhancing guest experience and offering energy savings.
