Courtyard entrance
The entrance to the courtyard is flanked by evergreen bushes and features a rustic door with an openwork pattern that gives visitors a glimpse of the garden while recreating the shape of a tree. The stairs are covered with permeable limestone rock flooring on red tones that match the hand-made brick topping the low walls. |

The condo’s courtyard design reflects the resident’s living needs. The space is divided in two to break up the symmetry and to offer an element of privacy. The permeable bricked walkway is flanked by planting areas and leads to a dining area with adjacent kitchen covered with scaffolding. The dining area is designed as an outdoor room meant to be enjoyed day and night. |
