The Grove Residence
Project details
Overview
Nestled next to Hampstead Heath in London, LFB designed the lighting of the private garden to emphasise the landscape design with minimal lighting intervention. The client and design team were keen for the lighting to disappear among the planting and landscape design and function only to illuminate elements as opposed to being feature elements.
At the outset, the design approach also focused on providing only the light required for the day to day enjoyment of the garden with power provision throughout the garden installed to allow the client to add personal lights in the future for events, parties or holidays.
A simple lighting control system was also installed to give the client flexibility in setting scenes and programming in automated timers to avoid lighting to trees or the rear portion of the garden being left on beyond an agreed cut off time - minimising negative impact of flora and fauna and negatively affecting views out over Hampstead Heath.
