Project Overview

Step into this secluded courtyard and embark on a sensory journey of luxury. The design seamlessly blends the original rough stone feature wall, warm solid wood framework, and modern minimalist architecture, creating a timeless, serene, and sophisticated ambiance. In the open leisure area, a low-key luxurious modular sofa surrounds a natural artisanal wood-root coffee table, reminiscent of the imprints of time. Nearby, a stone-built fireplace with flickering flames infuses the space with a warm soul. The meticulously arranged outdoor dining and kitchen area offers the most refined interpretation of urban dwellers' longing for the warmth of life.

The design uses light, shadow, and the tactile qualities of stone and wood as guiding threads to organize a modern courtyard that is both private and suited to everyday living. Primary sightlines extend from the residence through layered greenery and quiet seating areas; hard surfaces remain restrained, while planting serves to screen, cool, and soften the boundaries.

This page presents conceptual design and 3D visualization; prior to construction, detailed development must be completed by local professionals based on site measurements, drainage, structure, plant suitability, and permitting requirements.

Design Details

Design philosophy

A restrained spatial framework carries rich natural textures, weaving quiet, layered private living scenes among light, stone, wood, and greenery.

  • Long sightlines coexist with partial enclosures.
  • Material tactility replaces excessive ornamentation.
  • Plants serve both privacy and microclimate functions.

Outdoor experience

The reception, dining, solitude, and garden pathways unfold along the exterior of the residence, with sightlines controlled through walls, greenery, and elevation changes, creating a transition from open to private.

  • The main reception area with seamless indoor-outdoor continuity
  • A quiet seating area wrapped in greenery
  • Light-and-shadow walkway connecting the districts
