Architectural LED Lighting

Painting the architecture

with light, not flood.

and structural details โ€” designed by lighting professionals,

not installed by electricians.

Light ยท Architectural LED

Color-tuned,
scene-controlled,
invisible by day.

As a core part of our Landscape Lighting practice, this discipline is where the craft becomes specific โ€” the techniques, materials, and tolerances that separate generational work from passable work.

Architectural lighting treats the home itself as the canvas. Done well it produces a property that arrives โ€” and disappears โ€” at sunset with theatrical precision.

We design and install integrated LED systems that grace facades, soffits, columns, and architectural details with controlled color temperature and zoned dimming.

Our architectural systems run on FX Luminaire ZDC color-tunable LEDs and Lutron-compatible controls, allowing scenes for entertaining, dining, away mode, and seasonal accent.

The Craft

01

ZDC color-tunable LEDs

1800K to 6500K, color-shift for events.

02

Concealed mounting

Recessed in soffit, behind cap, or under tread.

03

Scene programming

App-controlled zones, scheduled or manual.

Materials & Spec

The short list we trust.

FX Luminaire ZDC Color-tunable, brass, dimmable
Lutron RA2 Select Whole-property scene control
Solid brass eyelash & step lights Concealed mounting
12V transformers, multi-zone Phase-cut dimming compatible

The Process

Four steps. A clear vision.

01

Architectural review

Identify hero elevations, columns, textures.

02

Lighting plan

Fixture schedule, beam diagrams, scene map.

03

Install & wire

Concealed runs, junction boxes, transformers.

04

Program & aim

Scenes built; final aim done at night.

Considerations

Questions worth asking.

The same fixture can shift from warm 1800K candlelight to crisp 4000K daylight on demand โ€” and any color in between for seasonal accent.

Yes โ€” most of our lighting integrates with Lutron, Control4, and Crestron systems.

Pair It With

The integrations that make a
project sing.

Design-build means every discipline is drawn at the same table. These are the natural pairings clients ask for next.

Water

Waterfalls & Streams

Naturalistic cascades and slow streams, hand-built boulder by boulder, tuned for sound and silver.
