A Stately Exterior
A generous turnaround in front of his-and-hers garages. The 22 steps up to the front door have been built in four sets with landings between.
In the gloaming, the lights come to life
The deliberate, beautiful lighting of this exterior makes the whole house come to life at night. This project won the 2017 International Design & Architecture Awards in London (UK) for Lighting Design. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Gentle, graceful lighting highlights the horizontal and vertical
Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Further out and higher up
Linked underneath, separate single entrances to this multi-car understorey garage bring in a his-and-hers elegance of use. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
His-and-hers garages, low-lit
The homeowner's architect designed these geometric stone-fronted pillars flanking this grand front stair. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
The 22 steps up up up...
Twinkling inset lights were added to this exterior to provide wayfinding on the stairs and accents underneath the soffitry. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
The alternate view
Note the gentle lighting accenting the top of the garage door. This low hum of light guides the eye and soothes the subconscious when the house is considered as a whole from the street. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Gently lit garage doors for aesthetics and wayfinding
Daytime light: the full reno is best appreciated at night,
And from the back yard
The alternate daytime view: note the multiple exterior textures. Four colours and five textures are used on the base of the house without looking 'busy' -- on the contrary, this palette and the design is restful to the eye. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Golden afternoon light on the house
More decking details: the pillars have been built out with exterior-grade finishing carpentry to create depth and style.
A closer view of the frosted-glass balcony railing
The dusk view: here come the winking lights. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Straight on: late afternoon
A twin to the daytime shot, this dusk view demonstrates the depth that comes with deliberate exterior lighting design: look at the lovely glow brought to the upper deck below the railing by the undersoffit lighting therein. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Late afternoon with the lights winking on
Clean lines and high quality work: bring on spring, bring out the furniture. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
The balcony and deck from below...
A warm and inviting space. Even without deck furniture, this late fall scene invites you in with the warm lighting tones and textural design gestures. Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
The illumination of being
Straight on: darkness rules the land, yet the brightness rules the deck! Such style in those upper storey under-soffit lights - remember this detail when planning your exterior renovation. This lighting design won at the 2017 International Design & Architecture Awards (London, UK). Architect,...
Straight on: lit and lovely
This is an inviting world, isn't it? Architect, Gerald L. Forseth.
Welcoming, warm nighttime view
