Mixed-Use
Courtyard Features
Feature-wall and edge-screening systems for enclosed courtyard zones.
Courtyard programs often seek greenery impact in areas where irrigation access and sunlight can be inconsistent.
Approach
How the strategy is typically structured
We combine vertical greenery, privacy breaks, and focal surfaces to create layered depth while keeping service access practical.

Quick context before detailed planning
This solution page explains how to add visual depth and privacy to courtyards using artificial systems while preserving access and serviceability.
Expected outcomes
Likely effects in the right conditions
Can add stronger visual depth in enclosed courtyard layouts
May improve spatial identity for tenants and visitors
Often supports lower recurring maintenance planning in selected zones
Scope considerations
Sightline strategy should account for upper-level windows and walkways.
Material color temperature should be tested under actual courtyard lighting.
Access pathways for periodic cleaning should be retained in every phase.

FAQ
Courtyard Features FAQ
Can courtyards support both feature walls and privacy zones?
Yes, many courtyard scopes combine focal greenery and screening elements, depending on circulation and sightline priorities.
How do you avoid visual clutter in enclosed spaces?
Design usually starts with a hierarchy: one primary focal element, then supporting screens and transitions.
Is low sunlight a problem for these systems?
Artificial systems can often be useful in low-light courtyards where live planting performance is inconsistent.
Can this be phased by zone?
Yes, many courtyard projects are phased to align with occupancy and budget planning.
