Milan hides its most beautiful spaces behind its doorways. The Courtyard is one of them: an irregularly shaped private terrace spread across different levels, which èLUNAPIENA has transformed into an intimate and sophisticated urban garden. A project that does not compete with the city but embraces it, blending in through precise and measured design choices that transform the terrace’s irregular geometries into compositional strengths.
The most original element of The Courtyard is the decision to treat the planters, corner sofa, and storage chests as a single piece of furniture, all custom-made by èLUNAPIENA in painted aluminum.
In the lounge area, the corner sofa in gray/sand-colored technical fabric rests against the perimeter planters in champagne-beige aluminum, creating a green backdrop that envelops those relaxing in this comfortable sitting area. In the dining area, the custom-made èLUNAPIENA aluminum beige storage chests serve as seating around the table with a petrol-green stoneware top featuring a lattice pattern — a bold color accent that harmonizes with the lush vegetation decorating the terrace. Storage chests are both an aesthetic and functional choice. In fact, they are not just seats but also storage containers that allow you to keep tools, equipment, and other items useful for making the most of outdoor living.
The botanical choice of The Courtyard is that of a real garden: quercifolia hydrangeas, stem trees, yews, oleanders, agapants, … a palette that transforms with the seasons and guarantees blooms scaled from spring to autumn.
The custom aluminum chocolate brown flowerpots by èLUNAPIENA create a warm contrast with the green of the vegetation and the gray stoneware of the pavement. An integrated irrigation system ensures that plants have constant and measured irrigation.
The Courtyard is a terrace that seems to have grown naturally over time!
