Outdoor spaces aren’t built in the spring — they’re imagined now.

In this episode of Designing in 5D, Jodi continues the slower, intentional January energy and turns our focus outward — literally. From backyards and patios to vacation rentals and commercial courtyards, outdoor living has become a non-negotiable part of how we live, gather, and reset.

Jodi shares why outdoor spaces are no longer “extra,” but true extensions of the home and brand experience — and why the planning phase matters more than the products themselves. You’ll hear how wellness, connection, and experience are shaping high-end outdoor design heading into 2026, plus the trends actually worth paying attentionI’m attention to (hint: it’s not about chasing what’s popular).

Inside this episode:

• Why January is the best time to plan outdoor spaces
• How outdoor design impacts ROI, booking decisions, and brand experience
• The shift toward seamless indoor-outdoor flow
• Low-maintenance luxury materials that last
• Creating intentional zones for connection, calm, and flexibility
• Designing for experience — not just aesthetics

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or business owner, this episode will help you rethink outdoor spaces as places of restoration, connection, and value — not afterthoughts.
