Private Residence, Beverly Hills, California.

Garden: Designed lighting for 10-acre former Jack Warner estate, laid out for after-dinner strolls through formal terraces and rose gardens, down the 1/4-mile-long driveway colonnade of 50' high sycamores, or across a 3-story serpentine path fronting old stone waterfalls. The sycamores are carefully uplit as fine art, with 3 tiers of dimming according to height, and downlights hidden in live oaks cast shadow patterns onto the old brick and Turkish Limestone pathways.

Interior: Also refined the interior lighting and controls for the Main House. Miniature fixtures and projectors were added to complete the art, sculpture and table lighting in the main rooms, and the circuits for each extraordinary, museum-quality painting were separated for exactly-balanced preset dimming.

Beach House: Malibu, California. Added landscape lighting for expanding beachfront estate, where very soft, dimmed fixtures light the trees and paths through the sculpted myoporum groves.

Ford Plantation, Richmond Hill, Georgia.

Designed site lighting for 1800-acre resort on the Ogeechee River featuring low country Georgia homes, ancient live oak 'avenues', and the 1938 Guest Mansion. Designs to keep the gentle southern charm intact included continuing the gaslight street lanterns for the whole project, hidden landscape and subtle exterior lighting to encourage walking through the common parks, and the development of a “lighting standard” to ensure that all visible exterior and landscape lighting for private homes contributes to the plantation's particular serenity after dark.

Denbigh Farm, Greenwich, Connecticut.

Designed landscape lighting for 34-acre estate featuring vine-covered pergolas, a linden allee, & English gardens for outdoor dining & after-dinner strolls. Tiny wrought iron & copper path lanterns were developed to seem as if they'd been there for 200 years, & aged copper sconces are tucked beneath pergola beams to encourage walks under grape vines & around the landscape. The north view from the Dining Room is of dimmed, layered uplights on an enormous beech tree, & the view of the Carriage House has been warmed up, by lighting occasional windows around the three stories & dimly washing the cornice.

Private Residence, L'Ansecoy Bay, Mustique, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Designed landscape lighting for 8-acre beachfront estate set in a grid of coconut palms, spilling onto a beach of the whitest sand possible. Tiny fixtures uplight the cupolas of two open air dining gazebo's, set above a pair of 30' long lily pools, where dimmed lighting at the bottom silhouettes the sculpted plantings above. The electrical system for the entire site is submersible to protect the conduits from occasional flooding.

2nd Private Residence on Indian Creek Village, Florida.

Designed and renovated landscape lighting for 5-acre bayfront estate featuring sculpted allees of pleached ficus trees, and elegant water gardens of purple and white lotus flowers. We're developing a floating fiber optic fixture with a little lit crystal centered on a patina-ed copper plate, like a little floating votive candle, for catching the colors of the flowers without causing any glary reflections in the water from downlighting.  Huge royal poincianas, ficus, & outdoor sculpture are cautiously uplit with most groups on separate dimmers, so the amazing views across the water are gently framed.

Stoke's Bay Residence, Tucker's Town, Bermuda.

Redesigned landscape and exterior lighting for beachfront estate, with tiny, shrouded, heavy brass downlights staggered along trails to swimming or hammocks, and underwater dock lighting set up for feeding “trained” tropical fish at dusk. Security concerns introduced tiers of lighting control, also accessible in the main house, with marine-grade weather-proof buttons on teak posts set in the garden to turn on lighting as one descends down the paths for a late-night ocean swim.
