A Hidden Urban Retreat, New Plymouth, Taranaki Region, New Zealand by Michael Mansvelt Design
Houses |
Tucked into an inner-city site, this refined courtyard garden transforms a previously exposed and underused space into a layered, tranquil retreat. The design intent was to create an intimate, cloistered world—one that prioritises both visual rhythm and botanical richness, while blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.
