A spacious central courtyard with warmth and light - ready to become a place people would seek out.
The courtyard was the heart of the property but nobody used it. Direct sun made it unbearable by mid-morning, and the hard surfaces amplified the heat rather than absorbing it.
We introduced layered tropical planting to filter light and create shade, a shallow reflecting pool to cool the air and slow the pace, and natural stone that stays cool underfoot. Seating was placed in the pockets of shade that shift through the day.
A sanctuary guests move through and rest within - the most photographed space on the property.

How this environment came together.
"Guests don't just walk through the courtyard - they stop, sit, breathe. It changed how the whole property feels."
