When you live in Arizona, outdoor lighting can transform your entertainment potential, especially when you have a thoughtfully designed outdoor space. With good weather year-round, homeowners can create a backyard that merges modern smart home technology with beauty and functionality. 

To see a great example of how to transform an outdoor space, check out how our team at Wipliance partnered with Maude Haus Interiors and Signature Custom Homes to deliver the jaw-dropping project seen in this video! Read on for the details below.

Merging Design and Technology

Wipliance’s expertise in smart home integration was critical in bringing the homeowner’s vision to life. Our team didn't just install technology; we seamlessly integrated it into the design, creating a perfect balance of outdoor lighting and ambiance. A layered lighting approach was used, incorporating recessed lighting elements directly into the patio ceiling. This seamless integration allowed the space to shine—literally—without distracting from the specific architectural design.

Vibrant linear outdoor LED lighting and Control4 played a role, offering color-changing lighting that sets the perfect mood. The patio’s downlights provided functional yet subtle illumination along the walkways, ensuring safety and elegance without a harsh glare overtaking the space.

Functional Elements that Elevate Outdoor Living

Beyond outdoor lighting, this space was designed for full outdoor enjoyment. Wipliance didn’t stop at aesthetics; we ensured the patio was fully functional for all seasons, providing practicality and convenience. Discreet outdoor patio heaters and concealed small aperture speakers were added to bring warmth and sound without disrupting the design flow. Whether the homeowners want to host a party or have a quiet movie night, their outdoor TV is the ultimate entertainment solution, offering vivid contrast and picture quality even in the full sun.

The design team created a beautiful balance between the rich wood tones and bright limestone end caps, grounding the space in classic Arizona style while equipped with modern lighting technology. Wipliance added horizontal linear lighting beneath the countertops and toe kicks to enhance its functionality and beauty, highlighting vertical design elements while creating a balanced view that impresses.

A Backyard Transformed

The before and after of this North Scottsdale backyard makeover is truly something. What was once an ordinary patio has been transformed into an exceptional outdoor space for entertaining, where layers of outdoor lighting elevate the entire deck and pool inside and out. 

This transformation is an excellent example of how Wipliance collaborates with architects, designers, and builders to blend functionality, aesthetics, and smart technology seamlessly into outdoor spaces.
