Scope & design response
Planting design & courtyard layout
The plan concentrates planting at the perimeter, leaving the centre open. A narrow bench sits against the warmest wall; a clear route joins the two doors. Low groundcover keeps foliage below the windows, with taller plants limited to the two corners that need screening. The planting schedule separates the brighter northern edge from the shaded beds.
