Designed with a strong focus on outdoor living and entertaining, the house features landscaped outdoor areas that are illuminated to enhance the mood after dark.

A carefully designed lighting scheme ensures impact from the streetfront by highlighting key architectural features. Placed at 1m intervals along a planter box in front of the wall, Nautilus in-ground spots with low-volt 35 watt halogen lamps make a feature of this hard landscaping element.

Dean Fulford from Lighting Direct, the company that supplied the lighting for the home, says this concept reflects a recent trend of highlighting certain aspects of an outdoor area, rather than simply bathing the entire landscape in light.

"These spots throw pools of light upward, creating a subtle, moody effect around the perimeter of the property," says Fulford.

The home's entrance is illuminated by marine-grade stainless steel downlights set into the underside of the cantilevered entry overhang. The same lights are used in the exterior soffits to light the terrace at night.
