Red-and-White Permanent Lighting Across Multiple Gables
Permanent lights beneath the eaves of a two-story home with several gables, a porch and a garage, shown in a red-and-white setting with white tracing the peaks.
The project
This two-story home has multiple front-facing gables, a covered porch, an attached garage, and a mix of siding, stone, and brick. That combination called for a permanent lighting layout that could define each roof section without flattening the different materials. We installed permanent lights beneath the visible eaves and along the front roof edges, carrying the line across the porch, garage, and upper gables. The scene shown uses red and white, with white tracing the peaks and red light washing portions of the soffits and facade.
At dusk, the separate roof sections read as one coordinated design. The lighting follows the home's height changes and draws attention to the twin center gables while maintaining a continuous line across the lower level. From the street in Atlantic Highlands, the pattern remains clear across the full front elevation.
The challenge
The house has two tall front gables side by side, a lower roof over the covered porch, a side gable and an attached garage, with brick, stone and siding meeting at different points. A permanent system stays on those edges all year, so the track had to follow every eave and rake while staying discreet in daylight.
How we lit it
We mounted the permanent lights under the front eaves, along both rakes of the twin gables, across the porch roof and along the side gable, so every front roof edge is covered by one system. In the setting shown, white points trace the peaks and edges while red light washes the soffits and the siding below them. Because the system is programmable, the same install can show other colors and patterns through the year without anyone going back on the roof.
The result
At dusk the twin gables read as the center of the house, framed by the red glow on their soffits, and the porch line keeps the lower level connected to the rest of the facade. The pattern stays even across brick, stone and siding.
