Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Elevated oblique view into the open courtyard of one cooperative housing building: a comically wide, squat crescent-shaped structure with uneven roof heights, cream walls, terracotta roofs and a few large teal doors opening onto the same courtyard. One oversized curved wooden bench follows the inner wall, emphasizing a place shared by the homes. A single broad planter sits beside it. Small amber doorway lamps cast simple warm patches across the lavender courtyard at dusk. Building occupies the left two-thirds, with uncluttered pale lavender space toward the right. Playful asymmetric silhouettes, thick imperfect marker contours, broad flat colour fills and occasional visible stroke overlaps. Gentle storybook atmosphere; architecture remains recognizable and plausible. Communal life suggested through the arrangement, without people. No diagram, arrows, cutaways or instructional overlays. No text, logos or watermarks.
