Illuminating Tranquility in Kirkland
Tucked into the wooded hillside of Juanita, this contemporary residence underwent a multi-phase transformation—now showcasing a total of 96 warm white LED lights, thoughtfully placed to create a sense of magic at every turn. The latest additions deepen the ambiance and extend visibility throughout the home’s forested edges, side entries, and backyard retreat spaces.
Design Overview
From the beginning, the lighting plan at Juanita Hillside balanced elegance with function—accentuating towering trees, enhancing safety on stone walkways, and elevating the outdoor experience around the pond and waterfalls. With this recent expansion, we extended the lighting further into the wooded trails and added fixtures to welcome guests at the lower-level entry.
This project also received the 2014 Grand Award from WALP (Washington Association of Landscape Professionals) for excellence in landscape lighting at the Holmes Point (Juanita Hillside) Residence.
