This Dutton Park Residence project, designed by Big House Little House, is a masterful exploration of how light can define and enhance a living space, both inside and out. The design meticulously layers different lighting techniques to create a dynamic and inviting atmosphere, transforming the home from day to night. The lighting strategy isn’t just about illumination; it’s about crafting an experience, highlighting architectural features, and extending the home’s usability well after sunset.

One of the project’s key successes is the seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces, largely achieved through thoughtful lighting. The large glass doors blur the lines between the interior and the patio, a connection that is reinforced by the consistent warm light temperature. The patio area itself, with its overhead lighting, feels like a natural extension of the home’s living space, making it a perfect spot for dining and entertaining. This integration is crucial in a climate where outdoor living is a significant part of the lifestyle. The lighting design ensures that the entire property, from the living room to the poolside, feels like a cohesive and well-designed whole, rather than a series of disconnected spaces.
