Courtyard



This house is centered around an interior court into which, all rooms have a view. The court provides ventilation to the house as well as filtered light and a communal place to gather. A horizontal security trellis supports plants which provide shade. There is a bike storage area at the entrance to the court, and a central channel that carries rain water away from the building.
