Renovation: Adding a Rain Garden to a Hardscaped Courtyard

Transform the hardscaped courtyard in the image into a space with a rain garden. Keep the building facade, doors, windows, and main circulation axis unchanged. Dig a sunken planting strip, approximately 30 cm deep, in the center or to the side, with weathering steel edging. Inside, lay pebbles and plant moisture-tolerant species such as sedges, rushes, and irises. Install a drainage outlet to allow roof runoff to visibly flow in. Convert the remaining paving to permeable pavers. Maintain the original light and viewpoint, do not add people or text, and output with a realistic architectural photography texture.

將畫面中的硬鋪面中庭改造成具有雨水花園的空間。保留建築立面、門窗與動線主軸不變,在中央或側邊挖出一條下沉約 30 公分的植栽帶,邊緣以耐候鋼收邊,內部鋪設卵石並種植莎草、燈心草與鳶尾等耐濕植物,設置一處導水口讓屋簷排水明顯流入。其餘鋪面改為透水鋪磚。維持原有光線與視角,不要加入人物或文字,輸出寫實建築攝影質感。
