The Challenge
After designing the lighting for this bespoke barn conversion near Stratford upon Avon, our scope of work expanded to a new outdoor dining area set on stilts. The brief was to create a magical experience to this unique space.
Concealed low energy lighting was mounted underneath the raised pathway to provide a sense of depth and scale, and a sense of arrival. Marker lights were used along the surface of the pathway to provide way finding and highlight the texture and form of the natural materials.
The Solution
The lighting design features various lighting techniques and lighting fixtures to bring this wonderful feature to life. Lighting control systems are often expandable, so we expanded the client’s current system to allow for effortless control and convenience from the exterior dining area as well as from the main house.
Lighting a unique exterior space
Concealed low-energy lighting was mounted underneath the raised pathway to provide a sense of depth and scale and a sense of arrival. Marker lights were used along the surface of the pathway to provide way finding and highlight the texture and form of the landscape.
Miniature spotlights illuminate the unique structure
Within the structure a Starlighter was used to provide low intensity illumination for relaxed evening dining. The whole lighting scheme was carefully designed to deliver a unique and magical feature.
Control from the main house for added convenience
The wooden finished dining pod at the end of the path is subtly illuminated from the glow of the marker lighting creating a warm and inviting atmosphere the client envisioned.
