The design of a narrow sunken courtyard involves creating a courtyard that is lower in elevation than the surrounding ground level. This design often aims to enhance privacy, reduce noise, and provide a tranquil space for relaxation. The drawing would typically include architectural details such as the layout, materials, and structural elements. Key considerations include the size and shape of the courtyard, the placement of walls and stairs, and the integration of plants and water features to create a harmonious environment.
