Appropriate ambient lighting for a rooftop terrace

For several years now, we’ve noticed that rooftop terraces are becoming increasingly popular. In fact, this trendy new feature has become a staple in townhouses, condos, and homes both in the city and in the suburbs.

At Oasis, we recognize the full potential that a rooftop terrace can bring to a home. A rooftop terrace offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy time outdoors and host gatherings with friends in an attractive setting. A well-designed space like this provides you with a pleasant living area and will undoubtedly add immeasurable charm to your home.

Appropriate and harmonious outdoor lighting

A rooftop terrace is an undeniable asset to any home, but this asset is only truly valuable if it has adequate lighting that is tailored to your living space, allowing you to spend your evenings there and truly enjoy it.

A rooftop terrace must be lit with skill and elegance; otherwise, it becomes useless in the evening. At Oasis, we design custom outdoor lighting systems tailored to your living space. In recent years, we’ve had the opportunity to create a variety of custom lighting solutions for rooftop spaces based on our clients’ needs and preferences.

The right outdoor lighting not only highlights the beauty of a space after dark, but also creates an entirely different perspective on it. Each type of lighting creates a unique effect and serves a specific purpose.

Subtle lighting

This type of lighting creates balanced, consistent illumination throughout your entire patio. To achieve this, we combine different types of direct and indirect lighting to create a space that is both functional and inviting.

Ambient lighting

Pour créer une atmosphère détendue, l’éclairage ambiant est parfait. Il s’agit d’un éclairage indirect et diffus favorisant une ambiance de détente.

Decorative lighting

This type of lighting is designed to highlight specific spaces, objects, or areas of your patio. If you want to draw attention to a particular feature—whether it’s an architectural detail, a painting, a sculpture, a texture, or something else—this type of lighting offers countless possibilities for creating a dramatic atmosphere.

Accent lighting

Accent lighting can be used to highlight a sculpture or a brick wall, for example. It can also help create a reading or workspace on your patio.

Highlight a feature of your rooftop terrace

Do you have a piece of art you love or an object that holds special meaning? Make it stand out with special lighting that draws everyone’s attention. This trick works just as well for highlighting objects and plants—or why not try it on a different surface, like a brick wall or a beautiful wallpaper?

Roof Lighting: Challenges and Opportunities

In Quebec, many municipalities prohibit the installation of fixed lighting on the roof of a property. That is why we use our expertise, experience, and creativity to offer you custom lighting solutions that comply with all regulations.

Drawing on our expertise, we design lighting fixtures that can be mounted on removable elements such as pots, planters, garden furniture, and accessories.

We are proud to offer a complete line of outdoor furniture from the Quebec-based company TWIST. For more information, please visit the TWIST website.
