Great Design in the Great Outdoors is a designer’s guide to creating impactful outdoor experiences. From our need for respite, our biological instincts to be outdoors, and how outdoor spaces are being utilized, ThinkLab’s white paper provides a comprehensive picture of why great design in the great outdoors is of critical importance today.
The fall and winter seasons bring months of joyous traditions. They ring in holiday parties, festive music, gift giving and (best of all) winter activities. Scarves and sweaters are pulled from storage and getting out the door every morning takes a few moments longer. With all the new distractions of the season, we have less time available to do the things we love most. Like enjoying quality downtime with loved ones. Creating an outdoor seating area that provides a warm environment in which to unwind helps achieve a healthy balance to our new daily routines. Make the most of winter, effortlessly, with outdoor heating.
Geography plays a large factor when it comes to design in the hospitality industry. International hotel chains create indoor and outdoor aesthetics that fuse with the traditions of their location. Local culture and customary ways can vary drastically from country to country, even city to city. The focus consistently remains on creating an unprecedented and luxurious atmosphere based on that hotel’s unique location.
When the sun sets, the outdoor experience does not need to cease. The vast offering of outdoor lighting provides solutions for every environment, ensuring the optimal experience is enhanced well into the night. The sun no longer dictates when you get to spend time outside.

When designing an outdoor space, the visual aesthetic is often as important as the functionality of the space. Keeping that in mind, here is the ultimate checklist to find the perfect blend of visually appealing and functional outdoor space with outdoor furniture.
The season for outdoor brunches, casual business lunches and date-night dinners is upon us. Sure your culinary prowess shines with your updated warm-weather menu and your summer libations list is lengthy, but is your outdoor space inviting? Do guests return often?
