The courtyard is the most frequent place for outdoor activities of residents. The space design of the residential courtyard is closely related to people’s psychological feelings. As an external space environment, it should have a sense of belonging, domain sense, privacy, and practicality, and then create a humanized and functional beautiful space. Here are a few design principles.
1. Establish the body
In the composition of the courtyard landscape, an element or a group of elements stand out from other elements to produce the main body. The main design element is a focal point or focal point in the courtyard space. If there is no subject element in the composition, there is no element or part of the space that can make the eye linger.
2. Stay unified
Maintaining unity can be seen as a thread or theme that runs through the layout of the courtyard landscape, bringing together the disconnected parts into a whole. Unity also refers to the harmonious relationship between the elements in the design composition. The principle of unity will affect the size, shape, color, and texture of each design element in the composition of other design elements. When the design object achieves unity, it will make people feel that the whole design is one.
3. Create contrast
Contrast is to compare or contrast two same or different garden landscape design objects. To highlight or emphasize the local landscape, the opposing shape, color, texture, light, and shade of the scene or atmosphere together. Form a strong dramatic effect, and create a bright, significant aesthetic taste.
4. Strengthen your connections
Strengthening the connection refers to connecting different elements or parts of the courtyard landscape so that people’s eyes can naturally move from one element to another without any interruption. The courtyard landscape space should be balanced. For example, large and soft objects can be balanced with small and heavy objects.
Conclusion
Courtyards designed by these principles can give people a sense of light and improve happiness in life.
