Airscape

Airspace represents the freedom and openness of the sky, celebrating vertical design and the interplay of light and air. Our approach includes maximizing the vertical potential of outdoor areas through pergolas, trellises, and elevated gardens. Additionally, thoughtful incorporation of wind patterns and ventilation ensures comfort and sustainability, making your outdoor experience as refreshing as it is inspiring.

Designing for Your Environment

  • Climate Considerations: We give thoughtful consideration to the local climate, including:

    • Sunlight and Shade: Examining sun patterns helps one identify the perfect locations for sun-loving and shade-tolerant plants.

    • Wind Patterns: Designing the garden to reduce the effect of wind guarantees a comfortable and exciting outdoor experience.

  • Sustainable Practices: We prioritize sustainable practices—such as:

    • Drought-tolerant plants: Selecting low-water-requiring plants will help to lower water usage and thereby minimize the impact on the environment.

    • Efficient irrigation systems: Water-efficient irrigation systems help to preserve water while guaranteeing good plant growth.

Integrating Hardscaping and Softscaping

We expertly integrate hardscape elements like:

  • Pathways: Making embracing pathways that lead guests throughout the garden.

  • Decks and Patios: Providing cozy outdoor spaces for leisure and enjoyment.

  • Retaining Walls: Adding visual interest and enhancing the overall design.

With the soft landscaping of plants, trees, and lawns, we create a harmonic and aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment.

    • Recreation of your existing home’s exterior and property in 3D

    • Revised concepts based on your feedback from the original plan

    • Conceptual drawings for you

  • Our process is the same for every client no matter where you live or what your garden currently looks like.

    Here’s how easy it is to get your dream yard:

    Phase 1: Discovery and Design
    Talk inspiration, design style, and how you envision using your future garden. Using this info, we start designing your new yard.

    Phase 2: Finalization
    Finetune all the details and design features that make your future yard unique.

    Phase 3: Construction
    Handoff from our design team to our execution team.

  • We’re not just designers, we also have 10 years of build experience as approved contractors in Dubai.

    We design every project with construction in mind and have spent the last decade testing and building our own designs to ensure that everything we design is possible.

  • The timeline for a project can vary based on many different factors, but you can expect the design portion of the process to take about 2 months - from our initial design consultation call to the design finalization.

    There’s a graphic on the ‘Our Process’ page to help you visualize what the entire timeline - including permitting and construction - might look like.

  • Yes! We design worldwide.

    Whether you’re in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, Thailand or Indonesia, Texas or Colorado, if you have the ability to video chat, we can design your exterior space.

  • Yes! No matter what your personal style is or what style your home is, we design all different types of exteriors based on the vision you have for your exterior space.

  • We get asked this question all the time and the answer will surprise you. Working with Terrascapes will save you money and ensure that you get the most out of the budget you have for your new yard. How? 

    • Exterior designers have unmatched creativity. You get a “WOW” factor design for your yard, at a minimal cost. 

    • Exterior designers provide expert guidance so you make the right decisions about your yard and don’t spend money on unnecessary expensive features.

    • Exterior designers are constantly finding new and alternative materials to bring your yard to life.

  • There’s potential in every yard, including yours!  

    No matter what your yard looks like right now, how much outdoor space you have to work with or what your construction budget is, we are here to design a yard you can actually enjoy. 

  • Not necessarily. Our design will cover the areas that you specify you need help with. Our cost is based on the areas we are designing; i.e. just designing your backyard is less costly than doing both the front and back.

  • Our concept documents include a dimension plan of the designed space, scaled elevations with dimensions, and material callouts.

    We do NOT include engineering drawings or specifications for our design work.

    Engineering drawings and approval drawings will be included in once the project construction is finalized with us.

  • Yes! When choosing materials, we always take into consideration your home’s location and what makes sense for your exterior. This includes thinking about how materials will hold up to your climate, what kind of maintenance will be required, and more. We create all our designs with longevity in mind and want you to be able to enjoy your exterior for many years after your project is completed.  

  • No matter where you are located, we do our due diligence to make sure that the materials in your design are available in your area. Should materials not be available at the time of construction, we will work with you to suggest alternative materials that are available. 

  • No need! Because we design for clients all over the world, our work is set up to be completely remote. If you do happen to be in the United Arab Emirates, we can schedule one of our designers to come out for a site visit once the design contract has been signed. 

  • There is a possibility that you may not like our initial concept, however we typically include 3 revisions in the design fee so that we can work to adjust the design to your taste based on your feedback. We are not happy until we know that you love your new exterior design. 

    If the HOA or city has corrections, we will continue to work with you to adjust the design or suggest changes to meet the requirements requested. 

  • If you have a contractor and/or team you know and trust, you can absolutely choose them to build your yard instead of us.

    We make the handoff process seamless and make sure your contractor has everything they need to build your design.

  • Absolutely! Safety is very important to us and we can work with you to incorporate options that ensure sure your pool or other features are properly protected.
