This south-facing garden had been reduced to a small patch of grass due to overgrown shrubs and trees. Clearing those revealed boundaries framing a space much larger than the owners had ever imagined. They entertain frequently (and beautifully) and this mainly dictated the brief. Again we developed the concept of interconnecting indoors and outdoors as well as strong visual lines. We always recommend a professional and creative lighting scheme in order to maximise the garden's potential and this was essential here as the client's busy lives meant that the garden would be used mostly at week ends or in the evening. The existing pavilion structure was incorporated as a focal point in the design and is now used as a pleasant dining venue in the summer. We divided the space into four squares of turf, defined by a cruciform of alleys paved with elegant stone slabs. The delicate pebble mosaic at the centre represents a frangipani flower, reminiscent of the client's property in Mustique. Pleached Hornbeams, interplanted with soft coloured groundcover, provide verticality and privacy on the lateral sides of the garden. A pergola, covered with tumbling roses, offers an inviting sitting area. The garden has undergone a dramatic transformation and now goes from being a spacious and peaceful retreat during the day to a magical scenery at night. The combination of this simple but striking design, perfect detailing and state-of-the-art lighting have put it on a par with the most elegant of London townhouses.

hokon / Masukowitz Ein Spiel von Licht und Technik In jeder Stufe sind 68W High-Power LEDs eingebaut, die über Dali-Bus-Technik einzeln und in drei zusammenhängenden Bereichen gesteuert werden. Die Kopplung der Steuerung mit diversen Sensoren, Zeitgebern sowie Alarm und Rauchmeldern ermöglicht unterschiedliche Lichtszenarien. An Wochentagen wird das Treppenhaus morgens als Aufweckzeremonie stark beleuchtet sein; nachts dagegen nur der zu betretende Bereich, während der Rest abgedimmt ist. Gehen im Notfall Alarmanlage und/oder Rauchmelder an, so wird die Treppenbeleuchtung zu jeder Zeit automatisch sofort auf volle Leuchtkraft gestellt. Die Wärme der High-Power LEDs muss über Kühlkörper abgeführt werden. Diese sind so eingebaut und bemessen, dass ein Teil der Wärme über die Tragkonstruktion abgeführt wird, ein anderer Teil erwärmt die Trittfläche der Stufen auf max. 27°C.
