In the heart of Idaho’s Wood River Valley, the town of Ketchum has long embodied a rare balance between rugged authenticity and refined sophistication. Once a 19th-century mining town and later the birthplace of the American ski resort, Ketchum’s Main Street has always been a conduit between its past and its promise. After decades without significant updates, the city launched a comprehensive reconstruction of Main Street to elevate functionality and accessibility while honoring the town’s distinctive sense of place. Led by landscape architecture firm GGLO in collaboration with the City of Ketchum and the Idaho Transportation Department, the project sought to make the downtown corridor both safer and more beautiful— “more intentional,” as Mark Sindell, PLA, ASLA, LEED AP Legacy, Principal at GGLO describes it. “Like your garage over time, stuff just kind of collects,” he says. “This was an opportunity to clean up a bit of a hodgepodge and create a more cohesive, intentional streetscape that felt true to Ketchum.” From the beginning, the team understood that authenticity was essential. Residents made clear that they wanted Main Street to feel familiar and approachable—not overly urban or polished, but sophisticated and distinctly local. “People said, 'we’re not Seattle or Portland, and we don’t want to be Park City or Aspen,'” Sindell recalls. “Nostalgia was really important, but it also needed to feel fresh and forward-looking.” That balance came to life most clearly in the Northport area light from Landscape Forms. With its modern interpretation of a historic gaslamp form and updated performance for full Dark Sky compliance, Northport lighting became the defining visual element of the redesigned corridor. “Those lights were just right. They’re polished and contemporary, but with that candle-like quality that feels nostalgic in a modern way.” – Mark Sindell, PLA, ASLA, LEED AP Legacy, Principal at GGLO Customization played a vital role in achieving that harmony. Working closely with Landscape Forms, GGLO adapted the Northport fixtures to accommodate banners, hanging flower baskets and concealed irrigation lines—details that elegantly offer additional functionality while reaffirming a warm sense of place. “We were able to get the irrigation coordinated to run up through the post so there’s not an unsightly black tube strapped on,” says Sindell. “That level of quality and integration mattered to everyone here.” The partnership extended well beyond product specification. Sindell, who has collaborated with Landscape Forms for more than two decades, emphasized the importance of that relationship and the company’s willingness to engage deeply throughout design and fabrication. “Given what was on the line, I didn’t want to take risks,” he explains. “I’ve known the team for 20-plus years, and I know their commitment to quality and accountability. When something needs to get figured out, I can call someone directly and know we’ll solve it.” – Mark Sindell, PLA, ASLA, LEED AP Legacy, Principal at GGLO That trust proved essential amid the project’s challenges, due mainly to Ketchum’s location and short mountain construction season. “Things sometimes were hard to get, and we had to span two construction seasons, but we got there,” Sindell says. “In the end, everyone was happy with the outcome because it really felt like Ketchum.” The town’s alpine climate demanded an equally thoughtful approach to durability and maintenance. Generation 50 benches, Generation 50 Litters, MultipliCITY bike racks and Sorella planters were installed with customized removable bases, allowing the city to detach and store them each winter to protect against snowplows and heavy freeze cycles. “We developed a custom base detail with metal sleeves so everything can be unbolted and pulled out before the snow comes,” Sindell explains. “Then they reinstall them each spring—it’s simple, but it saves the furnishings and keeps Main Street looking great year after year.” The Sorella planters were further customized with flexibility in mind, equipped with quick-coupler irrigation connections for easy seasonal maintenance. The Northport area lights also adapt throughout the seasons—supporting hanging flower baskets in summer, festive garlands and snowflakes in winter and banners for community events year-round. Today, Ketchum’s Main Street feels both renewed and rooted—an expression of the town’s enduring character. Landscape Forms site furnishings and lighting establish a unified rhythm along the corridor, blending wood, metal and warm illumination in ways that resonate with the mountain town’s architecture and culture. “The community is proud of it,” says Sindell. “It’s forward-looking without feeling foreign—nostalgic, but not stuck in the past. It raises the game perfectly.” Through thoughtful design, skilled customization and genuine collaboration, Ketchum’s Main Street now reflects a community confident in both where it’s been and where it’s going—guided by design that honors its past while revealing its future.

Creating a stand-out community with a unique lighting aesthetic The city of Zephyrhills has traditionally been a rural community in central Florida. With the state experiencing a housing market boom, real estate developers turned to this region for expansion. The city’s new Two Rivers neighborhood comprises approximately 3000 acres and will eventually be the site of 6000 homes. Most communities in the region are lit with conventional post-top streetlights. But the Two Rivers developer wanted something new and different to distinguish the neighborhood, aiming for a more rustic aesthetic. Collaborating with the local utility company, the development team selected Cyclone’s Campana exterior luminaire as the primary source of illumination throughout the community. When the project is complete, approximately 300 large Campana luminaires (CN55P1A) and 2250 small Campana luminaires (SN21P1) will have been installed. The main boulevards that wind through the area are lined with the larger Campana CN55P1A pendant luminaire, installed with a straight mounting arm on a 20-foot pole. This configuration was chosen to meet the demands of boulevard lighting, where wider roadways, higher traffic volumes, and greater pedestrian activity require broader light distribution and higher lumen output. In this case, the performance package delivers 12,000 lumens per fixture. The elevated mounting height allows the luminaire to cast light over a larger area, ensuring uniform illumination and enhancing safety and visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. In contrast, the residential streets are illuminated with the smaller Campana SN21P1 luminaire, mounted on a 16-foot pole. These quieter, narrower environments benefit from a more intimate lighting approach, where a lower 9,000 lumen output and reduced mounting height help preserve the neighborhood’s character while still providing sufficient illumination for safety and comfort. This tailored use of Campana luminaires ensures that each area receives lighting that is both functional and contextually appropriate. All luminaires and accompanying poles are finished in a smooth black color, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the community. Designing to IES standards, the utility company selected a Type 3M distribution, an asymmetrical light distribution that ensures full illumination coverage. This achieves excellent uniformity with maximum spacing of both the roadways and adjacent sidewalks. All luminaires feature a 3000K color temperature. The Campana series offers a dark sky friendly, full cutoff optical system, designed to illuminate where light is needed. And its IP66-rated sealed optical chamber ensures that the luminaires will stand up to harsh Florida weather conditions. Choosing a unique lighting aesthetic has had the desired effect. The community stands out from others around it and has received very positive feedback from both the developer and its new residents. In fact, the developer is already experimenting with similar lighting designs for its future projects.
