Courtyard House

The clients wanted a home that felt open to nature while remaining private from the street. Their priorities were relaxed family spaces, a place to gather with friends and a quiet retreat away from the activity of the main living areas.

The design groups shared rooms around a sheltered courtyard, creating a connection to planting and daylight. Flexible openings allow spaces to connect for entertaining or close for privacy. Timber, pale stone and tactile upholstery bring warmth, while integrated storage keeps everyday essentials out of view.
