Loving the Landscape by ETC Florida

The right lighting can also transform a home’s exterior. The owner of this Florida estate charged ETC Florida with giving his home a commercial-quality landscape lighting makeover. Having invested in a spectacular modern property with striking architecture, sumptuous landscaping, and a bold collection of sculptures, he wanted the space to be as stunning at night as it is in the Florida sun.

Highlighting these diverse features was complex. ETC Florida had to assess plant growth patterns to select the proper lighting fixture positions and run infrastructure underneath a driveway to establish lighting options on both sides of the property’s access road. Where they encountered uncrossable boundaries, they used downlights affixed to 50-foot palm trees to illuminate the area.

Ultimately, ETC Florida used 249 Coastal Elite lighting fixtures to take this property from hidden retreat to illuminated oasis, creating the standout visual impact the client was seeking.

The increasing prominence of lighting within the smart home industry isn’t just a statistic; it’s a transformative movement. As demonstrated by the 2023 CEDIA Smart Home Awards, the integration of advanced lighting solutions is an art form that deeply influences homeowner experiences. Integrators, working together with designers, are shaping spaces that cater to the human need for visual appeal and ambiance, ensuring that homes are memorable as well as smart. As the industry continues to innovate, homeowners can expect more stunning transformations that seamlessly merge technology and design.
