01 / THE STARTING POINT

Design around the day you want to have.

A narrow backyard needs to do more than one thing. The proposal organizes outdoor rooms around a mature feature tree, changes in level, and the connection to the house. Each area has a role, while the garden still feels like one place.

02 / THE DESIGN IN VIEW

Space for together. Space for yourself.

A terrace becomes a setting for conversation. A quieter courtyard offers another pace. Different atmospheres let the garden support the changing needs of everyday life.

03 / INTO THE DETAILS

The planting is part of the architecture.

Planting defines edges, creates layers, and brings a softer rhythm to the outdoor rooms. The selected drawing records the planting direction alongside the spatial plan.

04 / LIFE IN THE GARDEN

Picture your life outside.

A place to sit together by the fire, see the children play, or watch the light change through the tree. This is a proposal for a way of living, explored through drawings and visualizations.
