Inside Outside studio

Inside Outside, founded by lead-designer Petra Blaisse in 1991, is a multi-disciplinary team of architects, interior- and landscape architects, artists and designers. The studio is specialized in landscape design in a variety of scales and levels of complexity (from private gardens to landscape master plans) and in interior, curtain and exhibition design. 

Working internationally since the very beginning of their career, Inside Outside is used to working in different time and climate zones, welcoming the varied forms of collaboration and exchange of knowledge and craftsmanship with local parties with positive enthusiasm and curiosity. Through continuous learning and incessant creative energy, Inside Outside combines technical sophistication with inventiveness; fitting their work to each new context and culture and simultaneously complementing the intent of the architect, client and users in question. 

The studio's main interest lies in the creation of dynamic, site specific environments, both inside and outside. Tactile materials (such as textiles and plants), color, light, sound and time are their tools. Although for Inside Outside interior and landscape are one integral whole and although inter-disciplinary collaboration is what they stand for, the interior and landscape teams each consist of experienced professionals in the field. Their longstanding work-relationship with Blaisse and her Inside Outside studio makes that the team forms a firm base in all collaborations with third parties.

From conceptual to definitive design, the studio works in close collaboration with architects and clients, thoroughly studying the given situation and exchanging thoughts and information with – and presenting running design developments to – all parties involved on a regular basis. In the executive phases Inside Outside oversees and produces technical drawings and tender documents, supervises financial offers, coordinates production and is, as aesthetic director and hands-on collaborator, actively involved in the installation of their works on site.
