is an art that uses the interplay of light and dark.

the role of light in outdoor areas

While the sun shapes the scenery during the day, artificial light can transform the space into a completely new atmosphere in the evening and at night.

With carefully placed highlights, architecture, plants, paths and special garden features can be showcased.

needs assessment

Every project begins with a vision. Outdoor lighting design must therefore be closely integrated with the overall garden design.

The aim at this stage is to ensure that the garden remains functional after dark. At the same time, consideration should be given to how light can be used to change the atmosphere of the garden.

The challenge is to find the right amount of light to accentuate the garden without outshining or dazzling it.

light zones.

Outdoor lighting design works in a similar way to the layout of a room in interior design.

The idea is to create different “light zones” that generate various functions and moods.

A garden is divided into these zones, each of which is emphasized by the right light:

- Entrance area and paths

- Seating areas and terraces

- Highlighting of plants and individual elements

- Reflection and mirroring

integration.

Light should never be considered in isolation from the rest of the garden design.

It is an integral part of the overall picture and should be incorporated into the garden in such a way that it meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.

Lighting design makes deliberate use of the garden's existing design to accentuate its natural beauty and planned elements.

 creates emotions, shapes the space and makes the garden a true work of art in the dark.
