West King Edward Avenue Landscape Lighting – Vancouver Custom Residence

During our consultation with the homeowner it became clear that a cooler 3000K tone would not deliver the intimate, welcoming feel they wanted. We specified 2700K warm white LED fixtures across the property, maintaining a consistent, cozy glow in every zone while still providing ample functional light.

Magnolias in the Garden Beds – Each tree is illuminated with a controlled 277 lumen fixture using a 60° beam angle, cowling, and hex louvre. This creates a soft, dappled effect with excellent glare control for the compact backyard. Clear Cedar Deck & Hot Tub Area – Mini soffit downlights connected to a dimmer let the homeowner adjust brightness whether they are enjoying the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub, or hosting friends. Stonework and Steps – We used hidden pathway lighting with cowlings to discreetly mark elevation changes. The result improves both safety and nighttime aesthetics without introducing glare. Sauna Retreat – At the client's request, the sauna remains in gentle shadow, buffered by neighboring light levels to preserve privacy while still feeling intentional within the broader lighting composition.

Existing fixtures on the detached garage received 2700K dimmable lamps and soft wall-grazing uplights that frame the windows. From inside the kitchen, the homeowners now enjoy a balanced view of the garage backdrop and surrounding gardens. The layered lighting scheme blends architectural accents, garden focal points, and safe pathways into a cohesive nighttime experience.
