What We Did

Lightswitch worked closely with the client to identify key landscape and architectural lighting goals. Together, we developed cost-effective and innovative solutions. Our team focused on installing way-finding and ambient lighting, with the goal of establishing a safe and welcoming atmosphere for the entire Cove community. Whether at the poolside or lakeside, Lightswitch’s unobtrusive yet beautiful illumination exemplifies the high quality of this Benchmark property.

Why It Worked

When designing and installing lighting for The Cove, Lightswitch focused on the owner’s key goal: to create an escape from the commotion of the city. With this vision in mind, we strategized to make exterior illumination glare-free and minimal, while providing key way-finding functions. The result is a well-lit community that offers a calming retreat from the bustle of the everyday.
