From Concept Sketch to Finished Project: The OLF Design Journey

Architects and designers, few things are more frustrating than seeing a beautiful outdoor concept lose its intent during construction. After 30+ years in the outdoor living industry, we've seen projects succeed when the design vision is supported by a clear path from concept to completion.

Concept Design: Turning Ideas Into Possibilities

Every great outdoor project starts with an idea. Whether it's an outdoor kitchen, gathering space, or custom structure, designers need flexibility to explore creativity without being restricted by construction limitations.

Design Development: Refining the Vision

As projects evolve, details matter. Clients often request changes, budgets shift, and site conditions introduce new challenges. The OLF system adapts to evolving project requirements, allowing designers to refine concepts while maintaining design integrity.

Documentation: Bridging Design and Build

One common pain point is translating design intent into buildable documentation. OLF supports the process with SketchUp modules, component libraries, technical resources, and specification guidance that help improve coordination and reduce uncertainty.

Supporting Technical Integrity

From performance considerations to detailing support, our team helps ensure designs can be constructed correctly and perform reliably over time.

Fabrication and Installation: Bringing Plans to Life

The design remains yours. Your preferred contractor, or one introduced through OLF, builds the project while receiving support throughout installation. This helps protect the original vision while simplifying project delivery.

Finished Project Showcase: Seeing the Vision Realized

The best projects are the ones that look just as good in reality as they did on paper. That's the value of a complete design-to-delivery approach.
