SLICE OF MOROCCO
At Lighting of London, we focus on creating lighting schemes that support the way people use and experience a space. Project Coventry demonstrates how carefully selected lighting can enhance a compact courtyard garden and extend its use into the evening.

The Brief
This Brighton courtyard garden was designed with a strong Moroccan influence, using colour, texture and planting to create a private outdoor retreat. The space includes two distinct areas: a dining zone within the side return and a lounge area in the main garden.
The lighting needed to support both areas, provide a comfortable evening atmosphere and highlight key features without overwhelming the garden.
Our Approach
We delivered a layered lighting scheme that works with the landscape design rather than competing with it. Instead of simply illuminating the garden, the objective was to reveal its personality.
The layered planting, decorative Moroccan features feature, and architectural screening all offered opportunities for visual interest after sunset. Through carefully considered fixture selection and positioning, we created depth, contrast and atmosphere while maintaining a comfortable and welcoming environment. The fixtures were positioned to remain discreet during the day while providing effective illumination in the evening, creating an immersive experience.
Our Impact
The true value of the scheme lies not in the individual fixtures, but in how they work together. Our fittings are engineered with a specific purpose in mind, ensuring a carefully considered lighting scheme. Because of this, we were able to implement a minimal number of lights, as they have been engineered precisely for optimal light output. When it comes to working with a garden of this size, it is quality over quantity, and our fittings delivered.
The Outcome
The completed lighting scheme supports the garden’s function as both a social and private space. By highlighting planting, materials and key features, the lighting adds depth and usability while remaining understated.
Project Coventry shows how thoughtful fixture selection and placement can add value to a landscape project, helping the space work effectively throughout the day and into the evening.
