Architectural uplighting on stone columns of a Texas home at night

Architectural Lighting in North Texas

Light that shows off the architecture.

Custom architectural lighting for columns, stone, gables, and rooflines. Layered light that fits the house instead of fighting it.

Architectural Lighting Company

Light the house the way the architect drew it.

Architectural lighting is different from landscape lighting. Landscape lights the yard. Architectural lights the house. Done well, it pulls out the details that make the home distinctive: stone, columns, gables, arches, a good porch.

We choose narrow-beam fixtures where the elevation calls for it and wider wash fixtures across stone, using warm-white light so brick reads like brick and stone reads like stone. Every fixture is aimed, shielded, and adjusted after dark on install day so nothing glares back at the street.

What's Included

Everything you need in one project.

On-site design walk

We walk the elevation at dusk and mark fixture locations on the plan.

Narrow and wide beams

The right optic for columns, stone panels, gables, and eaves.

Glare shields

Hoods and shrouds so light lands on the house, not in a neighbor's window.

Warm-white light

Sources selected to flatter brick, stone, wood, and painted trim.

Clean fixture placement

Buried, screened, or tucked so fixtures disappear during the day.

Timers & zoning

Astronomical timers and separate zones for elevation vs. landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions.

What's the difference between architectural and landscape lighting?
Landscape lighting lights the yard, trees, and gardens. Architectural lighting lights the house itself, columns, stone, gables, and rooflines. Most K Legacy jobs include both.
Will architectural lighting glare into windows?
Not when it's done right. We use shielded fixtures and aim every one after dark on install day so the light lands on the house, not in a neighbor's window or bedroom.
What color of light do you use?
Warm white for almost everything. It flatters brick, stone, and wood the way homeowners want it to look.
Can you light a two-story home?
Yes. We use narrow-beam fixtures and the right output level to reach second-story gables and dormers without washing out the first floor.
Do you work on new construction?
Yes. If we're brought in during construction we can plan for sleeves and stub-outs, which makes the finish install cleaner.
