OUTDOOR SPACES back to bioregion >>

At Indigo, we understand the important relationship between interior and exterior spaces. We allow existing Patterns in the landscape to inspire our designs, working with these patterns to determine functionality. People feel grounded and whole when their homes, schools, and workplaces incorporate usable outdoor space. With proper shelter and solar orientation, courtyards and covered walkways can be used year-round, even in alpine climates.

Native plants and naturalized exotics create landscapes that fit ecological conditions and speak to cultural traditions. These plants help reduce the need for excessive irrigation and provide habitat for native birds, insects and other creatures.

Gardens, bio-filtered fountains, sheltered walkways and courtyards provide respite in an increasingly anxious world. We are whole when we feel the sun or rain on our faces, when we watch plants grow and change with the seasons, and when we have time each day to breath fresh air.
