At its heart is a central water feature surrounded by a living wall. On either side, trees form a natural canopy of gentle shade. A tiled courtyard continues the symmetry theme with seating framed on either side, incorporating a sensory mix of herbal and perennial plants, along with an evergreen structure to create a year-round space. The design is modular and practical, with raised beds forming the back of the seating, with the seating providing built-in storage. The design seamlessly brings together land, water, space, and life, resulting in a serene and bright courtyard that provides both seclusion and a sense of wholeness.
