A photorealistic contemporary sunken-courtyard house designed for a narrow urban lot. A planted lower garden brings daylight into the basement living area, with broad steps connecting it to the ground floor. Warm handmade brick, pale board-formed concrete, oak, clear glazing, gravel and layered plants surround one mature small tree. Landscape wide-angle view from courtyard level reveals the lower garden, interior rooms and upper facade in one coherent composition. Soft late-afternoon sunlight and realistic warm interior glow, buildable proportions, believable construction, no people, no signage, no text, no logo, no watermark.
