ILLUSTRATIVE DESIGN CONCEPT
Courtyard House
Residential
London
2026
Illustrative concept
An inward-looking home organised around a pocket of open sky.
The brief
Illustrative concept: imagine a quiet family home on a constrained London plot, with daylight and privacy given equal weight.
Our response
A courtyard becomes the centre of daily life. Rooms gather around its edge, while deep thresholds create places to pause between inside and out.
Material notes
Board-marked concrete, pale limestone, oiled oak and brushed bronze.
From brief to material.
