LESS IS MORE IN LANDSCAPE LIGHTING

The concept of "less is more" has gained popularity in various aspects of design and architecture, and landscape lighting is no exception. By using fewer lights and focusing on key features, the natural beauty of the landscape is highlighted and not overpowered. Our focus for Bayou Bend Towers' was to increase visual safety and security while maintaining the aesthetic of their private park. Our solution for the 42-year-old condominium's greenspace was a curated design of selectively installing moonlights, step lights, upgrading existing pole lighting, and 16 custom- fabricated, solid brass bollards.

"My favorite element of this project was developing the custom 36" bollard lights. These lights will handle the environment while producing a wider spread of light than one would have with a traditional path light," said Bryan Daniel, Director of Stirling Electric & Irrigation.

Improved Safety

A well-lit landscape is safer, but too much light can create glare and make it difficult to see obstacles. The "less is more" approach ensures a well-lit and safe environment without creating a lot of glare.
