Outdoor spaces

Lighting planning for outdoor spaces should highlight the best features of the space and its buildings, as well as improving safety. In garden and parking areas, the glare-free lighting of paths makes an area more pleasant, and also increases safety for people moving there when it is dark. At its best, lighting can create nostalgic feelings in public spaces. See light artwork in Mikkeli housing fair, Finland.

Façade lighting can highlight the entrances and architectural details of buildings, thereby increasing their value. In terms of cost efficiency, the aim of lighting planning is also to reduce the need for maintenance and energy consumption. Read, for example, about IBM’s courtyard lighting in Helsinki, which was carried out as an energy-saving project.
