Indoor & Courtyard Garden Design
Transforming indoor spaces into vibrant, living areas. We design courtyards and interior gardens that bring nature inside, improve air quality, and require minimal effort from you.
This internal courtyard is designed to be viewed from multiple rooms. It features a mix of natural stone, lush tropical plants like the Bird of Paradise, and a central tree, creating a private, tranquil garden within the home's walls.

About this collection
An indoor courtyard is only as good as the drainage system hidden beneath it. We ensure every interior garden project includes professional-grade waterproofing and concealed drainage channels, so your living space remains clean and dry even with a dense, lush plant setup.
Bringing Nature Indoors
Indoor gardens and courtyards are more than just aesthetic choices; they act as the lungs of your home. Whether you have a central atrium, a glass-walled courtyard, or a small enclosed patch, our approach is to blend your interior architecture with natural elements.
How We Work
We start by analyzing the natural light levels in your space. An indoor garden needs specific plant choices based on whether your area is open-to-sky or glass-covered. We don't just place pots; we build integrated garden beds, use feature trees, and install low-maintenance ground covers like white gravel or specific hardy varieties that thrive in ambient light.
Practical Essentials
- Waterproofing: This is non-negotiable for indoor projects. We use multi-layer systems to protect your slab and flooring from seepage.
- Automation: You shouldn't have to carry watering cans through your living room. We install drip irrigation networks with hidden timers that keep your plants healthy automatically.
- Lighting: We install targeted uplighting and spotlights to turn your garden into a focal point at night, adding depth to your living area.
We focus on selecting air-purifying plants that survive well indoors, such as Philodendrons, Syngoniums, and feature palms. Our goal is to create a serene environment that feels like a natural extension of your living room, designed to be viewed and enjoyed without requiring a daily maintenance routine.
