OUTDOOR SPACES, THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED · NOW BOOKING NEW PROJECTS
Private Residence
The Courtyard House explores the relationship between architecture, water, and nature within a private outdoor setting. A reflecting pool, restrained planting, and natural stone surfaces create a quiet retreat, bringing light, texture, and a sense of openness into the heart of the home.

The Transformation
Drag the handle to see how the space changed.
The Challenge
The courtyard needed to feel open and calming while maintaining privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding architecture. The design challenge was to introduce water and greenery without overcrowding the space or competing with the home's clean lines.
Our Response
We developed a restrained courtyard concept built around a simple reflecting pool, carefully selected stone finishes, and layered planting. Clear sightlines preserve the sense of space, while the placement of greenery softens hard surfaces and introduces privacy without closing off the courtyard.
