Landscape Forms has introduced Cove, a new approach to outdoor structure designed to make high-quality shade and shelter easier to specify and faster to deliver.
Cove pairs refined design and detailing with a simplified, standardized approach. The structure is offered in three fixed sizes and a curated set of accessory options, allowing designers to bring elevated “outdoor rooms” to campuses, corporate environments, parks, hospitality spaces, and multifamily amenities without the complexity of a fully custom solution.
“We’re seeing strong demand for structure that balances design and efficiency,” said Robb Smalldon, president of structure at Landscape Forms. “Cove delivers the thoughtful engineering and aesthetic we’re known for in a format that’s easier to integrate into more projects.”
Roof options include a fixed metal roof with a canvas ceiling for a softer interior feel, or a motorized louvered roof that adjusts to sun and weather conditions in real time. Integrated lighting, sliding or fixed wall panels, curtains, and power access further support customization while maintaining a streamlined specification process.
Manufactured in the United States, Cove is positioned to support shorter lead times and simplified logistics. The system is backed by Landscape Forms’ dedicated field services team to help ensure smooth installation and consistent fit and finish.
With Cove, Landscape Forms is aiming to redefine outdoor structure as both elevated and accessible—proof that streamlined doesn’t have to mean scaled back.
