Service area

Two square miles, close quarters

A compact residential city inside Loop 610, known for tree-lined streets and a mature canopy the city itself treats as part of its character.

The properties

Placement matters more when everything is close together

Homes, trees, neighbours, sidewalks, patios and windows all sit within a few metres of each other — so a fixture aimed carelessly lights somebody else's bedroom.

  • Mature street trees and front canopies
  • Remodelled homes beside new custom construction
  • Narrow side yards and short setbacks
  • Sidewalks and neighbouring windows in every sightline
  • Compact patios, pools and outdoor kitchens
  • Front walkways as the main approach

Which is why West U work is mostly about shielding, beam control and output: enough light to show the architecture and the trees, aimed so the spill stops at the property line.

Stone elevation grazed with warm light that brings out the texture without spilling past the house
Restraint

Lighting the house without overlighting it

On a smaller lot, output that would look modest on an estate becomes glare. We drop levels, tighten beams, favour more small sources over fewer bright ones, and check every position from the pavement and from the neighbours' side — not just from the front door.

Other service areas

The same team works across Greater Houston. Each area has its own mix of architecture, planting and outdoor space — and its own reasons to light them differently.

We walk the property, talk through what you want to see after dark, and design the lighting around it.
