Mature trees, long driveways, gated entrances

Bunker Hill, Hunters Creek, Piney Point, Hedwig, Hilshire and Spring Valley — large properties with established landscaping give a lighting design more to work with than almost anywhere in Houston.

The properties

The best designs start with what the property already has

In the Villages that is usually a lot: canopy oaks, deep front lawns, custom architecture in brick and stone, and approaches long enough to be designed as a sequence.

  • Mature oaks and established planting
  • Large front yards and long driveways
  • Gated entrances and courtyards
  • Custom homes in brick and stone
  • Swimming pools, patios and outdoor kitchens
  • Gardens and specimen trees

On a property this size the risk is not too little light but too much of it, spread evenly. We decide what carries the view from the street, what carries it from the patio, and what stays dark so the rest has somewhere to stand out against.

The approach

A long driveway is a sequence, not a corridor

Lighting both sides of a drive from the gate to the garage turns it into a runway and flattens everything around it. We light the moments instead: the entrance, a tree or two along the way, the planting at the turn, and the architecture at the end — so the approach unfolds and the house is what you arrive at.
