Lighting an outdoor area given a new use
Describe the planned activity and viewpoints. The design discussion should address comfort and useful visibility, not simply place fixtures around the area's boundary.
Describe how the space will be used after dark and whether different lighting settings are wanted. Include nearby windows and seating viewpoints so controls and fixture choices can support both dining and quieter use.
How is activity lighting different from a boundary accent?
People seated near a fixture experience its source differently from someone walking past. The intended activity affects useful direction and the level of emphasis wanted.
Show furniture and nearby windows before finalizing positions. MKB can discuss product and control options for that use, rather than place lights around an old garden boundary that no longer describes how the area functions.
Details to include with this request
- New area use
- Furniture layout
- Desired lighting character
