Bill Knowles Northern Outdoor Lighting

What is your design philosophy?

The Northern Outdoor Lighting philosophy begins with the ideal of outdoor lighting as an art form. An outdoor environment with well-designed lighting is far more than visual. The lighting should become an integral, natural part of the space, creating an emotional response, a feeling of comfort and relaxation, as clients engage with their illuminated surroundings. At Northern Outdoor Lighting, we believe that outdoor lighting should create a totally immersive and interactive experience for our clients in their landscapes.

What motivates you?

Experiencing that “wow” moment when a new project is switched on for the first viewing. The clients are able to feel connected with their property and surroundings. Seeing the expressions on our clients’ faces thrills me every time, even after so many projects. This is truly my greatest motivation.

What inspires your work?

orthern Outdoor Lighting is a company with a highlyskilled professional staff of lighting designers and installation technicians. Our many national awards in lighting design are a testament to the company’s passion and commitment to producing the highest-quality results on any property.

NMy work is inspired by the landscapes that I’m invited to illuminate. I am able to see the potential that is provided to visually highlight the focal points of the space. Using the elements within the landscape, I envision how to guide the garden visitors to move and interact with the property by incorporating subtle and elegant lighting to lead them through the landscape.
