Lighting is absolutely crucial to enjoying the moment: if it’s too bright, people will move inside and if it’s too dark, you can’t see anything. Lighting informs function as well. Soft, gentle light is ideal for family dinners and gatherings in an outdoor kitchen or even provide a hint of romance. Harsher light, on the other hand, can improve the more active functionality of a back yard for dusk and evening sports or, at the very least, safety. Properly installed lighting can enhance any mood, and professionally installed lighting can effectively extend the amount of time you can use your patio, changing it from 12 hours a day at best to 24, or whenever you’d like regardless of weather or season.
We at M&S Architectural believe that we possess the skill to create a space that uses both natural and artificial lighting effectively, making your backyard a place that can be used at any time of day or night. Allowing just the right amount of light into a patio space during the day, and restricting man-made light from splashing back into the house in the evening requires a large amount of skill, practice and coordination, and we are happy to offer what we believe is the best service available in the King City, Aurora, Newmarket and Caledon areas.
