Courtyard House
A private world, open to the changing light.
01 / The brief
Start with
the place.
The brief began with a small contradiction: a house that felt sheltered from the street, yet completely connected to the garden. Rather than make one grand gesture, we arranged a sequence of intimate rooms around a planted courtyard.
02 / The response
In the detail,
the whole.
Thick concrete walls hold the quieter rooms. Wider openings bring the living spaces to the edge of the garden. A restrained palette lets the light, the trees and the everyday objects of a family give the house its character.
