Rural Retreat in Dade City

This Dade City home had all the architectural character—towering oaks, red brick facade, and manicured landscaping—but after sunset, everything disappeared into shadow. Our lighting design brought the entire estate to life with dramatic uplighting and a warm, refined glow.
Consultation/Design/Installation

How we approached the project

The client wanted to highlight the property’s elegant entry, mature trees, and clean landscape lines while avoiding any harsh spotlight effects. We walked the site at sunset and identified ideal fixture placements to enhance the home’s symmetry and architectural depth. Balancing brightness with softness was key—especially across the long pool cage and wide front elevation. Our goal was to create cohesion across all zones: facade, foliage, and pool enclosure.

What did we do

  • Installed over 60 custom-angled LED uplights across trees, columns, and facade
  • Designed a symmetrical lighting layout to accentuate the home’s central archway and gables
  • Integrated low-glare path lighting to illuminate beds and walkways
  • Mounted directional sconces inside the screened pool enclosure for ambient vertical wash
  • Concealed all wiring beneath mulch and hardscape for a clean finish
  • Connected to an upgraded smart transformer for easy scheduling and long-term flexibility
  • No items found.

    Summing up

    The lighting elevated every detail of this home—from the curve of the driveway to the canopy of the trees—creating a welcoming, luxurious nightscape the homeowners now proudly show off.

    Where timeless architecture meets atmospheric lighting design. This Lutz estate already had the stature—our job was to elevate its presence after dark. The goal: create a warm, layered lighting design that enhanced the architecture, framed the landscape, and invited evening enjoyment from every angle.
