Arlington's Storybook Neighborhood
Lyon Park is one of Arlington's most beloved historic districts — craftsman bungalows with deep front porches, original woodwork, and streets shaded by century-old trees. The Community House anchors it all. These homes were built for porches and evenings outdoors. Our job is to light them the way they deserve: warm, traditional, and completely in keeping with their character.
What Lyon Park Homes Need Most
Porch-centric design. The porch is the heart of a Lyon Park bungalow. We light the approach — walk, steps, entry — so the porch glows as the destination.
Craftsman detail lighting. Tapered columns, exposed rafters, textured siding — gentle up-lighting reveals the craftsmanship without overwhelming it.
Heritage tree lighting. The big oaks and maples are neighborhood landmarks. Moonlighting from a heritage tree is pure magic — dappled light over the whole front yard.
Period-appropriate fixtures. Where fixtures show — near entries and porches — we choose traditional styles and dark bronze finishes that suit the era of the home.
Historic District Sensitivity
Lyon Park's historic character matters. Our designs add no visual clutter by day: fixtures hide in beds, wire buries deep, and the light itself is warm and restrained — 2700K, shielded, aimed with care. The neighborhood's evening charm gets enhanced, never disrupted.
