Location: Pasadena, CA Courtyard spaces rich in Biblical and Chinese symbolism are created for a six-unit condominium complex. A wall punctuated with a water feature greets residents and visitors to the complex, alluding to spaces beyond. Behind the wall, a long koi pond adds life and opens up the narrow courtyard. Individual patios are defined by low hedges that offer privacy yet don’t create a walled effect. A generous lawn area creates a communal gathering space. Bamboo screens the neighboring apartments and unifies the long courtyard. Flowering pear trees in the front of the complex give seasonal color while “stripes” of groundcover create a graphic ground plane. Completed under the employment of Orange Street Studio |
