Exterior design is the process of planning and designing the outdoor space surrounding a building. It involves the use of various design elements and principles to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional outdoor environment that complements the architecture of the building. Exterior designers consider factors such as the building's architecture, the local climate and environment, and the client's needs and preferences to create a cohesive and visually appealing outdoor space. The design process typically involves a consultation with the client, a site analysis, concept development, and implementation of the design.
