Updated lighting projects onto plant material, creating shadows, highlights and drama
BEAM originally designed the landscape lighting for this modern residence in Society Hill in 2007 to accent trees, feature walls and low-level plantings. In 2023, BEAM was asked to upgrade the lighting to LED and reimagine certain areas where the vegetation has grown or been changed in recent years.
The new design revitalized the space: highlighting the texture of the tree bark contrasted against the soft wall, improving lighting glow at the water ‘bridge’ feature, and updating under-bench lighting. With mature trees, lush vegetation and illuminated pool of water, the yard glows handsomely at night as a peaceful retreat from the city.
