At Aya Healthcare’s Sorrento Valley headquarters, GroundLevel helped transform a conventional parking lot into a vibrant, multi-functional courtyard that celebrates indoor-outdoor living and employee wellness.

Designed as a connective thread between buildings, the space now serves as a central hub for gathering, collaboration, and rejuvenation. Highlights include a custom amphitheater, relaxed garden lounge, shaded deck, café and fitness zones, and “The Lotus”—a striking sculptural sunshade that doubles as an artistic centerpiece. Lush plantings, lawn spaces, and water features complete the courtyard, offering a restorative outdoor environment that supports focus, creativity, and connection.
