Sunlight streams through this compact
city garden during the day.




At night, ground mounted and tree mounted low voltage fixtures help create focus and a sense of mystery.

This shoji panel and retaining wall do not have a great deal of presence during the day.



Just two fixtures add much interest to the garden. One downlights the Yucca plant and adds texture to the wall. Another projects light at the banana plants for a dramatic silhouette effect.

The gargoyle keeps guard on the
upper deck of the house.




At night he hides among the shadows created by the overhead directional low voltage lighting.

During the day this gated stairway leads visitors to the guest level of the house.



When evening falls, this area takes on a fantasy-like appearance.
