It takes just seven seconds for someone to form an opinion about a place. In real estate and design, those seconds carry weight: they can influence whether a buyer signs, a tenant stays, or a community feels at home.
At BLOCS, we see those first moments as an opportunity to go beyond curb appeal and design spaces that connect people’s emotions and memories to a place.
Here’s how thoughtful outdoor design shapes that impression:
- Welcoming Views: Frame a clear view into or through the main entry. Line it with trees, flank it with striking plantings, or place a signature tree at the end of the axis to create impact.
- Arrival Spaces: Introduce small gathering moments along the entry that make people subconsciously feel welcomed. Create spaces where they can imagine themselves living or spending time.
- Inclusive Design: Smooth, accessible entries ensure that everyone feels comfortable and at home from the start.
- Signature Details: Incorporate design details that reflect the project’s identity. Murals, unique forms, or locally inspired materials can anchor the space and make it feel authentic to its place.
The result? Outdoor spaces that not only look good but create an emotional connection. They make people feel comfortable, at home, and able to picture themselves enjoying the space in the future.
This is the kind of design thinking that shapes every BLOCS project.
Landscapes that help people feel, connect, and thrive while also boosting long-term value.
