THE IDEA BEHIND THE HOUSEA home shaped
A home shaped
by its courtyard.
The planted court brings light and a garden into the centre of the home. Living and dining sit to the west, the kitchen looks north, and the bedroom and study share the east wing. Sliding glass doors open onto the courtyard.
Pale limewash and natural oak give the house a soft, understated finish. The terracotta option brings a warmer colour to the same simple form.
