The Design:

We moved toward a courtyard design fairly early in the concept phase. The courtyard makes sense for a number of reasons. It will function as outdoor space that has a somewhat controlled climate. It also helps control the site noise issues by adding a large daylight emitting space to the center of the home, allowing us to reduce window sizes on the exterior walls.
