The courtyard of silence

A quiet reflection on stillness and design

The courtyard was built to breathe. Its walls, pale and patient, framed a single tree at the center — a slender silhouette against the open sky. Wind crossed the stone floor softly, stirring the scent of earth and quiet leaves. Nothing in this place hurried. Even the shadows seemed to pause before moving. It was a design of restraint, of balance — where stillness wasn’t empty, but full. A reminder that silence, too, can be architecture.
