In 2007 Pompei AD worked with Urban Outfitters to develop their new outdoor living concept, Terrain, which made its debut in 2008 at the 118 year old 11 acre J. Franklin Styer Nurseries site in Concordville, Pennsylvania. Terrain is the fourth brand from Urban Outfitters, and an example of another successful collaboration between the design firm and retailer.
The indoor-outdoor complex consists of an on-site nursery as well as numerous buildings, both
new and old. During the renovation of the existing garden center, historic details were painstakingly preserved while reclaimed materials added richness and character to new buildings. An old restored farmhouse contains a landscape design service and provides a charming backdrop for the rest of the complex. The on-site nursery is flanked by a café and garden terrace, providing the ideal environment to host events and workshops. The retail spaces, which include several sheds, greenhouses and hothouses are highlighted by high ceilings and natural light, bringing the outdoors inside.
