Portfolio: Custom Lighting for a Custom Built Home in the Northern Chicago Suburbs

High quality traditional building materials were used for the exterior of the north shore Chicago Shingle Style home. Mounted to cedar wall cladding and flanking wooden louvered shutters are two Brass Light Gallery handcrafted custom Cottage Lantern 10 inch Wide Straight Arm Exterior Wall Lights modified with a flat mounting plate and three-light cluster. The classic style of the handcrafted lantern is a good fit with the traditional exterior of the home. The high quality genuine Verdigris Patina metal finish on the lanterns offers a pleasant contrast to the grey cedar wall cladding. Sparkling Waterfall art glass panels in the outdoor sconce soften the light without obscuring it. The scale of the lantern is perfect for the space: it makes a statement without overwhelming the narrow strip.
