This 9’x15’ courtyard for an International Design Firm based in San Diego offered little in the way of space, but with restrictions come opportunities. We toyed with several different layouts, knowing we needed an enclosed space for the trash can and that a water feature was a must. Being directly under the flight path near Lindberg Field, the new water feature affords some noise mediation, while the space over-all is much more usable. Well lights in the planter, underwater lights, and ambient lighting under the bench make the space usable at night. The space is used for al fresco meetings, a waiting area for clients, and as a sanctuary from the office. The construction team had 10 days to do the install and access was extremely limited.
