The Cycad Court
Courtyard & water
The house turned its back on a leftover service yard. We opened the kitchen onto a new court, kept two existing cycads, and cut a shallow trough down the axis so the space would hold water and sky. Tree ferns give shade in the heat; clivias take the seasonal colour.
