When the homeowners and their custom builder were still in the design phase of this Lake Oswego residence, they brought us in to make sure the lighting was considered from the very beginning — not bolted on at the end. That early involvement let us design alongside the architecture itself: architectural uplighting on the beams and columns, layered illumination around the pool surround and hardscape, accent lighting tracing the hillside and driveway, and carefully placed fixtures that draw out the warm, rustic tones of the home’s corrugated metal accents. Wood, stone, metal, water — each material asked something different of the light, and because we were at the table during design, the plan accounted for all of it.
