After dark

2700 K, and nothing brighter

Low bollards, a few uplights, festoon between the veranda posts. The sky is the amenity.

The garden path lit by low bollards after sunset, villa windows glowing beyond
The evening

Every lamp on the property is warm white and mounted below eye level, which is a decision about the sky rather than about the lamps.

Bollards run along the walkways at ankle height. Two or three uplights sit in the specimen trees and nowhere else. Festoon strings cross between the veranda posts and over the event lawn, and the pool deck is lit only from its own edge.

Nothing is aimed outward and nothing is cool white — the villas were relamped to 2700 K throughout, rooms, bathrooms, verandas and paths. On an east-facing cove with no town light behind it, that is the difference between seeing the Milky Way and not.

The same three paths at night

On the ground now
The limestone path at dusk with bollard lights along it

Limestone at dusk

White chip holds the last light longer than anything else on site.

The concrete path lit by bollards in the evening

The spine

Bollards down the concrete run from arrival to the beach.

The sand path lit low, running toward the water at night

Sand, last stretch

Warm wash across the sand where the frame meets the lawn.

The walk from your veranda to the water is ninety seconds

Barefoot the whole way, on sand held in a timber frame for the last stretch.
