As landscape architects are keenly aware, much of a project’s success is measured long before the public is able to step onto a site. How a design vision fits within the realities of project workflow—how seamlessly it can move from initial idea to final installation—often determines whether the built result can truly reflect the creative intent behind it. Cove, the latest outdoor structure solution from Landscape Forms, is shaped with this reality in mind. It’s a streamlined and simplified approach to structure, opening the door to more projects, more applications, and more opportunities to create welcoming, design-forward outdoor destinations.
“We’re seeing a strong demand for outdoor structure solutions that combine elevated design with efficiency,” says Robb Smalldon, Structure President at Landscape Forms. “Cove delivers on this need by offering the same thoughtful engineering and refined aesthetic we’re known for, in a streamlined format that makes it easier to bring high-quality structures to more projects.”
Cove is offered in three fixed sizes with a curated set of accessories—an approach that refines decision making to what is essential, reliable and most meaningful in enhancing outdoor experiences. An automated louvered roof dynamically manages sun, shade and weather. Wall panels with fixed or rotatable louvers dial in the desired level of privacy, permeability and connection to surrounding landscape. Outdoor curtains add additional softness and warmth, and integrated lighting and power access ensure day-to-night usability and functionality. Every option is intentional, each one thoughtfully vetted to maintain a coherent aesthetic language and predictable performance.
This measured simplicity carries significant value in the project process. It narrows the gap between intention and execution, ensuring that specified elements can be built, delivered and installed with confidence and speed. These benefits resonate across the varied contexts Cove is designed to serve—from campuses and recreation spaces to more intimate settings like poolside retreats, cabanas, hospitality patios and multifamily amenity spaces where a lighter footprint and dependable timeline can define project viability.
Manufactured in the United States, Cove adds another layer of ease, streamlining procurement and enabling smoother delivery on institutional, civic and campus projects where sourcing and schedule are closely scrutinized. A dedicated field services team supports installation, further ensuring that the quality embedded in the system translates cleanly to the built environment.
Ultimately, Cove distills outdoor structure to what matters most for both designers and end users: clarity, coherence, durability and a welcoming human experience. It is a structure that helps projects move forward with confidence, while creating everyday moments that feel elevated and thoughtfully crafted.
