Whisper Rock Estates
Scottsdale, Arizona USA
September 2004
Exterior lighting provides more than just nighttime illumination in this affluent residential desert community. At Whisper Rock Estates, Atom Lighting’s
fixtures lend character to the whole atmosphere. Unique stone signs welcome residents with directional lighting that seems to make each rock leap from its embedded home.
Custom-crafted rustic lanterns invite neighborhood guests to stroll along cobbled paths and bridges or sit beside the warmth of one of the many community fire-lit patios.
Beyond the illuminated stone columns that punctuate the clubhouse courtyard, massive saguaros proudly display their weathered ribs as below grade lighting urges them
upward toward the night sky. Throughout the vast landscape, austere desert trees discreetly house Atom Lighting’s suspended fixtures, glowing from
within and casting web-like shadows on the dry ground. With lighting that perfectly complements the classic Western design, the illuminated outdoors has become
part of the development’s unique ambiance!
Sassi Italian Restaurant
Scottsdale, Arizona USA June 2004
A sophisticated restaurant deserves equally sophisticated exterior lighting. At Sassi Italian Restaurant, nestled within the splendid boulder landscape of
Scottsdale’s Troon golf community, guests arrive through a majestic entryway, where Atom Lighting’s artfully designed below grade fixtures have been placed to highlight beautiful wall sculptures and rich brick columns. In the background, candelabras and uniquely styled architectural fixtures imitate gentle flames, creating a soft and inviting candle-lit atmosphere. In the handsomely paved piazza, submersible lighting draws guests’ eyes to an elegant fountain, while the surrounding illuminated landscape creates a peaceful, old world environment. With Atom Lighting’s products flawlessly complementing Sassi’s quaint
southern Italian atmosphere, weddings, celebrations, and even ordinary dinners become extraordinary events. Oh, and of course the food is exceptional as well!
Palmer Residence
Phoenix, Arizona USA
March 2004
Exterior lighting can make an intimate residential property come alive. At the Palmer residence, Atom Lighting’s submersible fixtures immediately
draw visitors’ eyes toward two symmetrically mirrored fountains, each splashing glowing water within a softly-lit pool like a work of art. Directional lighting creates a warm backdrop for the entire outdoor space, drawing individual trees out of the darkness to frame the garden’s carpet of turf, dense planting beds, and thick living privacy hedge. Pathway fixtures placed within large pots highlight annual color cascading toward the ground, while also serving to illuminate the edges of the patio. Other pots make room for fixtures hidden beneath carefully planted specimen palms, radiating shadows against the ceiling of a covered patio. Finally, with directional fixtures aimed upward at trees adjacent to the gathering space, leaves become a canopy and the seating area becomes a cozy outdoor retreat. Add an attractive southwestern fireplace, and you might never want to go indoors!
