Side Yard, designed by Studio Acis, is a tropical solution for a generic urban site responding to the constraints set by the context. The solution was to bring in the sideyard spaces that are narrow and left unutilized in small plots and treat them as an extension of the interior. The planning encourages the family to spend more time in the green zones – the courtyards and side yard linked to the living spaces. The house is well-ventilated by its large openings and channeling wind flow through courtyards and side yards.
