Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Designed on a 2400 sqft plot, this residence maximizes space efficiency through a thoughtful courtyard-centered layout. The central courtyard serves as the heart of the home, fostering connection, openness, and natural ventilation throughout the interior spaces.
A skylight positioned above the courtyard introduces abundant natural light into the core of the house, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and enhancing the sense of warmth and transparency.
Each functional area—living, dining, kitchen, and bedrooms—is strategically oriented to overlook and engage with the courtyard, ensuring a visual and spatial continuity that blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
This design creates a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, emphasizing openness, airflow, and the tranquil ambiance of courtyard living.
