Rather than multiple generations tucked under “one roof”, we created a little village of houses that gather around the courtyard.

Individuals in the family can go about their separate lives while sharing a life together through common spaces, indoors and out.

The spaces were carefully composed to provide ample daylighting but also privacy where required.

Splitting the house into multiple masses both defines the individuals’ living within the house and creates opportunities for communal and private outdoor spaces.

Spatious, light-filled living, dining and cooking area for the whole family to gather and enjoy.

Individuals’ private suites and courtyards surround the house’s focal point – living, dining, kitchen, being the main gathering space. With the large glazed doors to the rear deck and clearstory from the central courtyard, the double-height living space is bright and airy.
