WHAT WE BUILD
Structures with soul. Spaces that breathe. Built for beauty, built for life. At Outside In, we design and build spaces that reconnect people with nature--visually, physically, and emotionally. Every structure we create, whether it's a handcrafted greenhouse, a luminous sunroom, or an outdoor gathering space woven into a food forest, is rooted in a belief that our built environment should nourish us--and the world around us. We build sunrooms, conservatories, and glass additions that flood interiors with natural light and blur the line between indoors and out. We craft greenhouses and grow spaces that support real food and real joy--whether you're a backyard gardener or a full-fledged plant collector. We design outdoor living spaces that become wild sanctuaries for people, pollinators, and the occasional barefoot afternoon. And we take on remodels and additions that bring existing homes back into harmony with their environment--with better light, better flow, and far more intention. Our structures are built to be functional, beautiful, and alive with purpose. We draw on carpentry, concrete artistry, ecological planting, and sculptural detail to create spaces that last and landscapes that give back. Whether you're starting from scratch or reshaping what's already there, we work hand-in-hand with the land, the client, and each other--so that everything we build feels like it belongs. We don't just build buildings. We build places to breathe.
OUTSIDE DESIGNED
Artful exteriors. Edible ecosystems. Landscapes that love you back. At Outside In, we see outdoor space as an opportunity--not just to build, but to cultivate. Every landscape we create is rooted in ecological intention and shaped by a deep respect for the living systems it touches. That ethos lives at the heart of our company, thanks to Niky's expertise in food forest design, plant curation, and ecosystem creation. We don't just design "low maintenance" yards--we build self-sustaining landscapes that are beautiful, bountiful, and alive with purpose. Imagine a planter bursting with seasonal color that doubles as a pollinator buffet. Or a backyard that quietly grows dinner, hosts bees, and gives the birds a place to bathe. These are the kinds of spaces we create--spaces that feel wild but intentional, lush but practical, grounded but magical. Our outdoor work blends art, utility, and ecological rhythm. From hardscaping to habitat planting, we build environments that nourish not just the people who live in them, but everything they touch. Because when the outside is designed well, it doesn't just look good--it gives back.
SUNROOMS
Where light lives, and so do you.
A well-built sunroom doesn't just add square footage--it expands your daily life. It's where morning coffee tastes better in natural light, houseplants thrive like jungle royalty, and seasons unfold just beyond the glass. At Outside In, we design and build sunrooms that feel like an extension of the natural world, not a bolt-on box. Our structures are light-filled, air-conscious, and crafted to frame the outdoors--not fight it. Whether you're imagining a cozy four-season retreat, a breezy seasonal lounge, or a plant-packed space that doubles as your second living room, we'll tailor the space to your rhythms and the land it sits on. We take into account sun path, airflow, materials, and views, blending traditional carpentry with modern glasswork to create spaces that are beautiful, durable, and breathable. These aren't prefab kits--they're custom builds made to match your home, your needs, and your wildest green dreams. Let your sunroom be more than an add-on. Let it be a sanctuary--for light, for growth, for everything you want more of.
GREENHOUSES & COSERVATORIES
Greenhouses
Designed with intention. Built to grow.
No two greenhouses should be the same--and at Outside In, they never are. That's because every successful greenhouse starts with one essential question: what's it for? Whether it's nurturing tropicals through a Pacific Northwest winter, starting seeds for a family farm, or growing tomatoes year-round, the purpose informs every design choice we make.
We treat each greenhouse like a living system--one that depends on airflow, sunlight, materials, and structure to work in harmony. We take the time to understand your plants, your goals, your climate, and your rhythm. Then we get into the details: sun path studies, fan placement, ceiling height, glazing types, thermal massing, and zoning needs. We build for durability, breathability, and beauty--so your space thrives with the seasons, not in spite of them.
Our builds aren't kits or afterthoughts. They're hand-crafted, site-specific, and tailored to your growing style. Whether you're a food forest gardener or a fern collector, we'll create the kind of greenhouse that makes growing feel effortless--and deeply alive.
Because it's not just about keeping things alive. It's about building something that helps them
Conservatories
More than just a glass room.
At Outside In, conservatories are built to be lived in--not just looked at. These structures bring the outside in with intention, creating flexible, beautiful spaces that serve real life. Some clients use their conservatories for hosting Thanksgiving, others for family game nights with a lake view. We've built spaces with paver floors you can hose down after a muddy day, and even green sections where grass grows instead of rugs. Many become year-round gathering spots--surrounded by thriving plants, fresh air, and a wide-open view of the natural world just outside the glass. Every conservatory we build is customized to how you actually want to use it. That might mean an outdoor-style kitchen inside the structure, space for container gardening, or just a bright, breathable room for everyday living. We consider everything from placement and materials to drainage, heating, and ventilation--so the space works as hard as it looks good. This is not a kit. It's a purpose-built, site-specific addition designed to connect your home to its surroundings--and support the way you live.
SPACES REIMAGINED
Natural function. Personal flow. Remodels rooted in life.
At Outside In, we don't remodel based on trends or what's selling this year. We remodel based on people--how they move, what they value, and what helps them feel at home. Every space we reimagine is shaped by a conversation with our clients and the natural world around them. Our remodels are grounded in biophilic design--the belief that people thrive when their spaces reflect the patterns, materials, and feel of nature. That shows up in all kinds of ways: larger windows to connect to the outdoors, natural materials like live edge wood and stone, or hand-sculpted concrete features like our signature fireplace tree that ties into the land and story of the home. We've done faux rock walls, rustic timber trims, custom color palettes inspired by the landscape, and even houseplant recommendations to make sure the space breathes once it's done. We design with function in mind--for chefs who need to move intuitively between prep, cook, and clean zones, or readers who want the right light and lounging setup for hours lost in a book. Whether it's a full-scale renovation or a focused update, we pay close attention to the natural flow of your space and your life. These aren't off-the-shelf remodels. They're site-specific, human-centered environments built to last, age gracefully, and support the way you live. When we reimagine a space, it's not to impress--it's to feel right.
