The biggest design challenge? Integrating lighting that looked clean and purposeful during the day while delivering warmth and depth at night. We tackled this by embedding hardscape lights into the retaining walls, installing tree-mounted fixtures in natural clusters, and using soffit lights that highlight the whitewashed brick without casting glare through the windows. The fire pit zone received subtle path lighting for nighttime gatherings without overpowering the peaceful backdrop.

In addition to lighting, we installed discreet outdoor audio—sleek, weatherproof speakers that blend seamlessly into the landscape beds and patio corners. Now, music follows you from the grill to the garden without a single visible wire or bulky speaker in sight.
