Lanterns
Set against a beautifully landscaped outdoor retreat, the Lanterns project at 127 Augusta brings together timeless design, architectural lighting, and modern outdoor living. This completed installation was designed to elevate both ambiance and functionality, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that seamlessly extends the home beyond its interior walls.
Featuring a curated series of oversized black metal lanterns with live flame elements, the design introduces a sophisticated focal point along the elevated deck and stair transition. The clean-lined fixtures complement the home’s contemporary architecture while adding a dramatic visual presence during evening hours. Carefully positioned to enhance sightlines and illuminate pathways, the lanterns create a layered lighting experience that balances elegance with practicality.
Craftsmanship played a central role throughout the project. Precision installation ensured perfect alignment along the glass railing system, while integrated landscape lighting was strategically incorporated to highlight planting beds, architectural textures, and elevation changes. Premium materials—including powder-coated steel, tempered glass panels, composite decking, and low-voltage LED lighting—were selected for their durability, low maintenance, and year-round performance in outdoor environments.
The surrounding landscape was intentionally softened with ornamental grasses, hydrangeas, and modern planters to create contrast against the strong architectural lines. Together, these elements deliver a resort-inspired outdoor living space ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and extending usability well into the evening.
Beyond aesthetics, the homeowners benefited from improved safety, enhanced curb appeal, and a more functional outdoor environment tailored for gathering and everyday enjoyment. The final result is a refined, luxury exterior space that combines modern landscape design, custom outdoor lighting, and exceptional craftsmanship to create a truly memorable backyard experience.
