Study 01 — The shaded courtyard Soft edges. Lasting structure.

Start with what the place gives you.

## Less lawn. More life.

A narrow courtyard becomes a place to pause. Layered planting softens the boundary; a gravel route leaves room for rain.

**Light**: Mostly shade

**Materials**: Timber + reclaimed stone

**Planting**: Ferns + woodland grasses
