Creative exterior lighting and outdoor sculptures for transforming gardens

Sculptures and Garden Lighting

At Studio Terraforma, we know thoughtfully curated sculptural accents and artful outdoor lighting can transform a space. We tailor installations around memories and stories significant to you.

Sculpture in the landscape brings a unique custom garden element to any project. While sculpture as an art form may be the first thing that comes to mind, other types can be equally effective. Architectural trees, oversized outdoor pottery, seating elements like benches, custom walls and large contemporary water features can also perform as sculptural elements. One of the critical factors to making it effective is proper placement without distractions from its surroundings. We prefer a simple background allowing the eye to rest on the focal feature. Grounding the element with an effective planting design can balance and soften as well as create seasonal interest in the landscape. Selecting the correct outdoor accent lighting is key to enjoying the focal feature at night. It’s important to remember that any large sculptural element requires professional installation and the correct timing in the landscape construction.

Outdoor garden lighting not only extends the visual field of the landscape from the interior but also provides ambience for enjoying your garden during nighttime. The key is subtle lighting that is discreet, simple and well-made. Other important considerations are functionality, focal lighting to highlight special features, and using a warm colour temperature. Effective outdoor lighting requires a professional with experience. Having a properly lit landscape forms an integral part of our bespoke garden design services. With our creative vision, your gardens can reflect what matters most through meaningful details designed in harmony with the landscape.

“A private retreat just steps outside our door. The sound of water, layers of foliage and views from every room bring the outdoors in.”
