West Hartford Residence, West Hartford, Connecticut.

Designed interior and landscape lighting for 126-acre mountain-top estate, with formal terraces and gardens designed for 200-guest events as well as for enjoying the panoramic views. A 10,000 sq. ft. basement houses the client’s collection of 60 ‘orchestrions’: elaborate, carved precursors to juke boxes with full-sized self-playing instruments, and an IR control system allows all lighting to dim except the accent fixtures on the featured music machine for the guests' pleasure. Outside, a glass funicular drops down to the Lake House and dock, for paddling out to the gazebo island in the evening, with banks of shrubs softly uplit above the shore.
