The space was punctuated with brightly colour seating walls, concrete paving and soft and fragrant planting, whilst bordered by more private and secluded spaces. <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><br>The design of the courtyard creates a dynamic space through colour and textures which provided the courtyard with a new focus for the renovated Junior school and lent it a contemporary
