The brief

A double-fronted townhouse on a busy Clapham street. Three storeys, railings to the front, and no off-street parking — which shapes everything about how a job like this gets done.

The owners wanted the top-floor roofline lit, not just the ground floor, because the house is seen from further down the road.

What we installed

Warm white roofline across the full width at third-floor level
Window frames picked out on the first floor to stop the facade feeling top-heavy
Railing garland at pavement level, dressed with pinecone and eucalyptus
Everything on one timed supply from an internal socket, with no trailing cable across the path

The constraint

Access and the public footway. A three-storey London terrace with a pavement in front is the job most domestic installers turn down. The work was staged early in the day, the ladder was footed continuously, and the pavement stayed passable throughout — no cable across a public route, at any point.

The result

Lighting that reads correctly from thirty metres away, which is how neighbours and visitors actually see the house. Warm white throughout, one temperature, no colour drift between the roofline and the railings.
