Public open space is the lifeblood of the urban environment. From streetscapes and urban plazas to nature preserves and parks, the healthy integration of people and the outdoors is a hallmark characteristic of a vibrant community.

Our team of design professionals have been working on prominent open space projects for over 25 years and have produced many award-winning civic, park, and environmental education destinations.

Studio Outside views the contemporary urban park as a powerful expression of community identity. It embodies a welcoming, responsive, and inclusive environment, artfully integrating circulation, programming, nature, architecture, and infrastructure. These parks are designed with flexibility, allowing them to seamlessly accommodate everything from large-scale celebrations and competitions to intimate family gatherings.

At the core of our vision is the celebration of local stories and cultures. This is made possible through the engagement of community leaders and residents, ensuring that these narratives are not just acknowledged, but woven into the fabric of the park through thoughtfully crafted art and landscape interventions. The result is a park that resonates with the community's unique character and heritage.
