Where Old Arlington Meets New
Clarendon is a mix like nowhere else in Arlington: 1920s colonials next to brand-new infill builds, all a short walk from the Metro and the nightlife corridor. The homes have character — front porches, mature street trees, real front yards. At night, the good ones glow. The rest disappear.
We light both sides of Clarendon. The older homes get lighting that respects their architecture — warm washes on brick colonials, gentle path lights on original walkways. The new builds get clean, modern designs with crisp lines and smart controls.
What Clarendon Homes Need Most
Porch and entry glow. Clarendon's porches are made for evenings. Entry lighting plus facade accents make the porch the heart of the home after dark.
Street-facing curb appeal. These are walkable streets with real foot traffic. A lit facade and walkway do not just look good — they are part of the neighborhood's evening character.
Alley and parking pad security. Many Clarendon homes park in the rear. Motion-sensor lighting on the alley approach and back door is practical security.
Mature tree lighting. The big street and yard trees are Clarendon assets. Up-lighting a front-yard oak is the single highest-impact thing many of these homes can do.
Parking in Back, Living in Front
The Clarendon pattern — park in the alley, live facing the street — means the front deserves the design attention and the back deserves the security attention. Our designs handle both: beautiful in front, safe in back, all on smart schedules.
