Our Design Process

How a Temple Outdoor project runs, from the first conversation to handover.

Stage One: The First Conversation

We start with a site visit and a conversation about how you actually want to use the space. Budget, timeframe and the parts of the site causing trouble all go on the table early, before anyone draws anything.

Stage Two: Concept Design

A concept plan sets out the layout: where things sit, how you move through the space, what stays and what goes.

This is the stage for changing your mind. Concepts are revised until the layout is right, because moving a line on a plan costs nothing and moving a wall costs a great deal.

Stage Three: The 3D Model

The approved concept is modelled in 3D and presented as photorealistic renders, so you can walk through the finished space before a single plant goes in.

Planting, paving, levels, materials and lighting are all settled on screen. Once you sign it off, that is what gets built.
