Low enough to keep the skyline

A rooftop terrace lit from overhead at a low level, with the view kept as the brightest thing in the frame — which is what people came up for.

What the photograph shows

A terrace with a view has one rule: if the terrace is brighter than the skyline, the skyline is gone and the glazing behind it becomes a mirror.

Everything here is low, warm and overhead, with the level dropping as the evening goes on.

  • Overhead sources kept dim and warm
  • Tables lit, circulation left lower
  • Nothing aimed outward at the view
  • Dimming through the evening

Your property, after dark

Every project here started the same way: a walk of the site and a conversation about what the owner wanted to see at night.
