Warm Architectural Glow For Magnolia Estate
Located in one of Seattle’s most prestigious neighborhoods, this Magnolia home sits just four blocks from the Puget Sound waterfront, with filtered water views and coastal walking access. The homeowners wanted an outdoor lighting design that elevated nighttime beauty, increased safety across the multi-level landscape, and created a welcoming ambiance for evening gatherings.
Northwest Outdoor Lighting installed 56 warm 2700K LED fixtures throughout pathways, stone steps, driveway approach, garden walls, and mature trees — illuminating the property without overpowering the natural environment. Uplighting reveals tree canopies and layered plantings, while subtle fixtures along walkways create soft gradients of light for safe, comfortable movement around the property.
The result is a refined nighttime atmosphere that expands usable outdoor space, enhances architecture, and showcases Magnolia’s natural beauty long after sunset.
