Project Info:

This compact family home explores how a modest footprint can create a much larger sense of living. The plan stretches across the site to frame a north-facing courtyard and connect closely with the established woodland, allowing internal spaces to extend naturally into the landscape.

A small house made larger through courtyards, breezeways and a close connection to landscape.

Concept

Simple forms are pulled apart to create breezeways, courtyards and covered outdoor spaces that become part of the everyday living environment. A deck cuts through the house beneath a singular roofline, with large sliding flyscreens allowing the home to open up and breathe while still feeling sheltered and contained. A restrained material palette and simple planning keep the build efficient, while selected crafted details celebrate the skills of the owner-builder.
