Rise up and Flourish

Too many spaces are shaped by compromise, caution and tick box exercises. Functional but forgettable. Not here. Not us.

Mind the gap: Our emotional attachment to landscapes

Mind the gap: Our emotional attachment to landscapes

An emotional attachment to a landscape or place is something deeply understood by the team at Outerspace. Physical features provide the setting, but memories, relationships, culture and personal experiences give landscapes their emotional meaning. How can we harness a communities connection to a landscape and allow this to influence our final designs?

The Role of Trees in Spatial Dynamics

The Role of Trees in Spatial Dynamics

Designing with trees starts with understanding the spirit of a place; its history, ecology, people and the small details that can easily be overlooked. It also means challenging the tick-box approach to public realm. A space can function perfectly well on paper, yet still fail to inspire, delight or invite people in. Understanding the theories of tree placement and the spirit of a place is paramount.
