Tropical Courtyard
8-01-2024
Malayattoor
Ms. Devika Shankar
3 Days
A refreshing tropical-modern landscape designed for Ms. Devika Shankar, Malayattoor, combining natural textures with minimalist geometry. This serene green space brings together soft-edged tropical plants, neat soil beds, and structured paver patterns, crafting a calm connection between the home’s architecture and its outdoor setting.
The design integrates Bird’s Nest Fern, Philodendron Xanadu, Alocasia, and Ginger Lily in curated clusters that thrive in partial shade and humid conditions. Each bed is carefully composed to emphasize lush foliage over floral color, creating a soothing palette of greens and earthy browns. The hexagonal concrete pavers and clean boundary walls give a modern contrast, while the newly laid Zoysia-type lawn and young trees add softness and continuity to the space.
The layout is functional yet warm—ideal for courtyard living, evening walks, and quiet reflection surrounded by Kerala’s tropical charm.
