Canopy — rear garden composition with corten beds and bluestone paving after rain

Canopy

The Project

Canopy explores the relationship between architecture and the layered landscape that surrounds it.

An immersive landscape-led residence where architecture is experienced through layers of vegetation, natural materials, and carefully orchestrated outdoor living. Rather than treating the landscape as a backdrop, the design establishes it as the defining architectural element — rich tropical planting, sculptural materials and a sequence of interconnected entertaining spaces creating an environment that feels simultaneously private, immersive and expansive.
