Architectural lighting focuses on the unique architectural features of a property. While landscape lighting highlights trees, gardens, and outdoor living spaces, architectural lighting draws attention to the lines, materials and craftsmanship of the structure. Elements such as columns, stonework, arches, dormers, peaks, and entryways can be selectively illuminated to create depth, balance, and visual interest after dark.

A well-designed architectural lighting plan helps define the character of a property while improving curb appeal and creating a more welcoming appearance. By carefully layering light onto key architectural features, the home or building becomes a focal point of the nighttime landscape rather than disappearing into the background.

Every property is different, which is why architectural lighting is often combined with landscape and pathway lighting to create a cohesive outdoor lighting design.
