INNER GARDEN reorganises a ground-floor house around a small planted courtyard. The courtyard is treated as a room in the plan — every main space now looks onto it, and daylight enters the house through greenery rather than straight off the street.
Inside, the palette is warmer and a little darker: travertine underfoot, smoked walnut joinery, blackened steel-framed glazing. The planting is restrained and architectural, so the connection to nature reads as structural rather than decorative.
