Oasis In The City

Outdoor spaces for both business and personal use

As employers return to the workplace, more businesses find opportunities to incorporate outdoor workspaces into the office environment. Research has found that outdoor workspaces inspire collaboration and creativity and support cognitive function, physical health, and psychological well-being.

Creative Scale’s challenge was to design a dual-purpose outdoor space for a client’s private and business functions. As a result, the underutilized garden space was transformed into a vibrant city oasis. The contemporary architectural language of the house was extended into the garden using modern detailing and furnishings. Exterior rooms extend the season and create opportunities for collaboration.

Concrete, granite, and aluminum materials seamlessly blend in the garden and offset the bold planting beds.

This ecologically friendly landscape reinforces the connection with nature and provides new and engaging experiences for employees and guests.
