This Highgate courtyard project combines heritage textures with a crisp modern layout, creating a secluded sanctuary that feels timeless and fresh. Bordered by red brick and raw limestone walls, the space features dual plunge pools tiled in soft aqua tones, surrounded by exposed aggregate and framed with lush tropical planting. Layered greenery, custom steel elements, and a minimalist planting palette provide softness and contrast to the structured backdrop. Stepping stones, manicured lawn, and rust-effect feature planters add sculptural interest while maximising functionality in a narrow footprint. The result is a private urban retreat that connects indoor and outdoor living through refined design and calming materiality.
