If you’re designing a large corporate office, commercial development or hospitality venue that would benefit from a well-planned outdoor environment that flows, we can help you transform your space.
The unpredictable weather in the U.K. can make outdoor planning challenging at the best of times, especially when you’re responsible for delivering high-quality commercial environments that work for the people who use them. That’s why we offer a complete outdoor solution designed specifically for professional spaces.
We offer a fully integrated package which includes outdoor furniture, planters, lighting and heating, helping you to create a comfortable, functional and visually striking outdoor area that your clients, guests and staff will enjoy all-year round.
Employee wellbeing and satisfaction is a top priority for many businesses that have ESG targets to meet. Modern workspaces are often high-stress environments with employees facing tight deadlines, long hours, and limited exposure to natural light. That’s why investing in well-designed outdoor environments offers a range of benefits for both corporate workplaces and hospitality destinations:
Encourages staff wellbeing by providing fresh-air breakout spaces
Supports collaboration and informal meetings outside the traditional office
Improves employee satisfaction and workplace experience
Creates attractive social areas for lunch breaks
Enhances the overall look and value of commercial developments
Maximises usable space by extending seating outdoors
Creates inviting alfresco dining and social environments
Encourages guests to stay longer and spend more
Adds atmosphere and visual appeal to terraces, courtyards and entrances
Allows venues to operate comfortably across more seasons with heating and sheltered areas
Our sustainable outdoor furniture range creates a strong architectural statement in professional environments. Combining Corten steel (a copper chromium alloy steel that forms a protective layer of rust) with high-quality timber, each piece is designed to deliver durability, style and a premium finish suitable for corporate, hospitality and other high-end commercial settings.
If you’re looking for a practical solution that combines seating with planting, our seating planters provide the perfect balance of function and design.
The warm orange tone of the Corten steel paired with natural timber creates a striking, contemporary look while offering a durable and sustainable material choice ideal for commercial outdoor environments. With a 200 x 200 footprint, seating planters provide ample room for a small group to gather comfortably.
Our circular timber picnic tables are designed to create relaxed outdoor spaces for staff and guests. The wooden panels can withstand harsh weather conditions and provide a natural protective barrier against decay and pests. Available in grey, white and orange finishes, they work beautifully on terraces, balconies and courtyard areas.
Not only are round tables favoured for their ability to create an inviting atmosphere, encourage natural conversation, and maximise space, but their curved edges also make them more inclusive. With dimensions of 230 x 230, these benches are ideal for meetings, other social gatherings or hospitality venues looking to create an inviting alfresco dining environment.
Timber benches are a simple yet effective way to accommodate staff or visitors during the warmer months. Built to withstand heavy foot traffic and daily use, timber benches are a long-lasting investment and can be integrated into various areas of the office to truly maximise seating options without overwhelming a space. Measuring 230 in length and 227 in width, these timber benches provide an ideal outdoor setting during the summer months for lunch breaks or for guests who prefer to enjoy their food outside the building.
By creating outdoor seating zones, you can encourage employees to take breaks, socialise or even hold informal meetings in a more relaxed environment.
Our hidden storage benches combine style with practicality. With rustic charm and practical lift-off lids and timber slats, storage boxes provide discreet space while maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance, perfect for commercial outdoor areas where space efficiency matters.
Available in a range of sizes and finished in any RAL colour, the GRP base ensures the bench is waterproof and able to withstand harsh weather, making it a perfect addition to any outdoor environment.
Floating benches create a sleek architectural feature, particularly suited to larger commercial environments.
Designed in modular sections, they can be joined together to form continuous seating lengths which makes them perfect for large-scale offices or hospitality venues. Mounted onto GRP trough planters with cantilevered hardwood seats, they are ideal for walkways, entrances, and large communal areas where both seating and planting are desired.
The trough planters are available in a range of sizes, from large to extra-large, depending on the desired look and feel. The GRP can also be finished in any RAL colour, with matt, satin, or gloss finishes available.
Outdoor areas allow businesses to maximise their available space and encourage people to spend more time in the venue. With integrated heating solutions, these spaces can remain comfortable and inviting throughout much of the year.
Fire pits create a natural focal point for outdoor seating areas, bringing warmth and atmosphere to terraces, hospitality venues and commercial courtyards. They encourage people to gather, relax and enjoy the space long after the sun sets. Measuring 100 cm in length, 80 cm in width, and 50 cm in height, these fire pits are perfect for creating a cosy setting during summer evenings.
LiveDivider PLUS is a flexible living divider system designed to bring greenery and functionality into commercial environments. This unique system allows modules with interchangeable cassettes that serve as planters to be stacked on top of each other as you wish. This creates more freedom for the flexible division of spaces while surrounding people with greenery.
This is a simple and sustainable way to divide spaces, improve acoustics and reduce background noise, as well as enhance climate and air quality. It helps to support concentration, productivity and wellbeing while reducing stress in busy commercial environments. This compact design that requires minimal floor space comes in a range of sizes and looks great all-year round. It can also be fitted with live or preserved planting solutions.
All of these solutions work seamlessly together to transform large office developments and other commercial spaces into vibrant, functional environments. By combining bespoke planting, modular furniture and thoughtful, human-centric design, outdoor areas can become places where people want to spend time, whether that’s working, socialising, dining or relaxing.
