This house centres around a covered courtyard which opens on one side to the garden. This central space is the focus of family activity as the living & dining on first storey and the bedrooms on second storey have full height windows facing it. The double volume staircase and corridor opens fully into the central semi-outdoor space, linking the master wing with the rest of the house. Separating this main circulation core and the courtyard is a porous wall consisting pivoting screens that naturally ventilates the living space as in a truly tropical house.
Just as the interior flows seamlessly into the outdoors, the garden also appears to continue beyond into the lush landscaping of the neighbouring house, creating the illusion of much more expansive grounds.
