As land costs soar, having a copious amount of outdoor space in which
to enjoy the
greener side of life is just a pipe dream for many of us,
but these two homes with small
courtyards show us how we can incorporate
a natural space into our modern city
central homes.
This impressive visualization by Iskander Khodzhaev
uses a rich depth of color throughout it’s
interior, which is picked up
in the planting of an internal courtyard installation.
A punchy red
accent runs between the two spaces, visually tying them together with
a
cheerful tone.
The
natural looking washed-out wood floors of the lounge and kitchen areas
are
complimented by the cool rock formations that adorn the plant bed,
and by the rustic
stone wall.
The courtyard soaks up the sunshine through overhead glazing that also adds to the illusion of
having outdoor space.
Acting
as a piece of living art in this home, the courtyard adds natural
interest and an extra
dimension to the arrangement of modern edges.
The industrial look of this real home, designed by architect Terra E Tuma, undergoes
a beautiful softening effect from the introduction of some natural beauty.
The pop of emerald green leaves peeping through the vast expanse of breezeblock walls
is a welcome relief from the harsh finish.
The home opens out into the courtyard space, where a hammock invites you to spend
a little time closer to nature.
