Minimalist Concrete Courtyards

16 photos

A concrete courtyard is best judged from indoors, where it works as a still, plain frame that makes anything green look vivid. These are seen past a wooden desk, a concrete kitchen counter and an ochre plaster island. Outside, very little is needed: bamboo, a small pine in a planter, green lounge chairs, built-in concrete benches.
