Architectural & facade lighting
Show off the house itself.
Architectural lighting
The best-looking house on the street.
Grazing and uplighting trace the stone, columns, and rooflines of your home so the front looks intentional and substantial after dark, not flat and floodlit.
We design to the architecture, hide the hardware, and control glare so the eye lands on the house and never on a bulb.
The details
What architectural lighting includes
-
Facade grazing & wall washing
Light skimmed along stone, brick, and siding to bring out texture, or an even wash for a clean look.
-
Column & entry accents
Symmetrical uplight on columns, porticos, and the front door so the entry reads as the focal point.
-
Roofline & gable lighting
Subtle light that traces peaks, dormers, and eaves to give the house a finished silhouette.
-
Material-matched fixtures
Brass and copper fixtures in finishes chosen to disappear against your stone and trim by day.
-
Glare control & shielding
Hoods, louvers, and careful aiming so you see the house, never the bulb.
-
Scenes & schedules
A bright welcome scene, a soft late-night scene, all on a timer or your phone.

Good questions
Frequently asked.
Most front-of-home projects run $2,800 to $7,500. You always get a flat quote first.
How much does architectural lighting cost?
Front-of-home architectural lighting in the Twin Cities typically runs $2,800 to $7,500, depending on the size of the facade and the number of features lit. You receive a flat quote before any work starts.
Will the fixtures be visible during the day?
Barely. We select compact fixtures in finishes that match your stone or trim and tuck them into beds and ledges, so the daytime look stays clean.
Can you light a two-story or stone home?
Yes. We use higher-output, tightly-shielded fixtures and careful aiming to graze tall stone and brick evenly without hot spots or spill into windows.
Does it work with my existing landscape lights?
Usually. If your transformer and wiring have capacity, we tie the facade lighting into one system so it all runs on a single schedule.
