Courtyard house
Proposed area

Materials

An intimate residence arranged around a garden open to the sky.

The intention

A retreat, with room to breathe. Rooms gather around an olive tree, connected by sheltered passages and thick stone walls. Patches of light mark the passage of the day.

What design brings

The plan creates a rare sense of privacy: places to live outdoors, entertain and retreat, without feeling exposed. The courtyard gives every room a shared point of reference.

Inside and out. Five views of one place.

Pale limestone and travertine courtyard around a mature olive tree, facing a very tall glazed door and a sculptural stone chair.
