COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN | OCHO RIOS

Miss T’s Kitchen Commercial Landscape Lighting Design

For this commercial landscape lighting project, AurumScape was commissioned to enhance the nighttime experience at Miss T’s Kitchen—one of Jamaica’s most iconic dining destinations—while preserving its warm, organic character.

The design approach focused on guiding movement, shaping atmosphere, and revealing texture rather than overpowering the space with brightness. Carefully placed uplights accentuate mature bamboo groves, palms, and architectural stone walls, creating depth and visual rhythm throughout the property. Lighting was intentionally layered to lead guests naturally from entry points to dining areas, reinforcing intuitive wayfinding while maintaining a relaxed, immersive ambiance.

Special attention was given to focal elements such as murals, signage, and natural rock features, allowing them to emerge subtly after dark. Warm color temperatures were selected to complement the restaurant’s earthy materials and lush planting, ensuring the lighting felt cohesive with the landscape rather than imposed upon it. The result is a nighttime environment that feels inviting, legible, and atmospheric—enhancing safety and visibility while elevating the overall guest experience.

This project reflects AurumScape’s philosophy that commercial lighting should do more than illuminate; it should tell a story, support flow, and extend the life of the space well into the evening.
