Architectural & House Uplighting
A few well-chosen focal points can change the way a home looks after sunset. Northline plans architectural uplighting around the surfaces, proportions, and viewing angles of your house, with attention to the windows and outdoor spaces you use at night.

Give your home's architecture room to stand out
The right approach starts with your property and how you want to use it after dark.
Choose the focal points
Start with an entry, columns, stonework, or a section of façade. Lighting every wall equally can flatten the view; selective placement gives the important features more definition.
Control the view of the fixture
The effect on the house matters more than seeing the light source. We consider aiming, shielding, nearby windows, and the view from the street and driveway.
Coordinate with existing lights
Porch lights, roofline lighting, and landscape accents all contribute to the final scene. Discuss the brightness and color you want before choosing fixtures.
A useful starting point
What to send with your request
Share a straight-on exterior photo, the details you want highlighted, and any windows where stray light would be unwelcome.
Include your town or ZIP code so we can discuss the project and scheduling for your address.
Can uplighting be added alongside permanent roofline lights?
Yes. They serve different purposes: roofline lights trace the outline above, while uplighting emphasizes surfaces and details below. We can plan how those effects work together.
