Plan for use
Cooking, gathering, retreat, shade and transitions are stronger when they are considered together.
OUTDOOR LIVING ↗Choose a coherent palette
Material direction considers tone, texture, weathering, maintenance and adjacent elements.
MATERIALS LIBRARY ↗See alternatives earlier

3D VISUALIZATION ↗Document existing conditions
Photos, available plans and measured observations create a more useful starting point for design.
SITE INTELLIGENCE ↗Connect design to build
Clear project information helps teams discuss scope, interfaces and decision points with greater care.
