We designed this tranquil beachside courtyard house for a retired couple, who envisioned a home centered around a courtyard. The inner courtyard serves as the heart of the linear landscape, creating a seamless division between two structures while offering a vibrant communal space. Semi enclosed to the elements, the courtyard invites ample sunlight and refreshing airflow, fostering a comfortable environment for relaxation and quality outdoor moments.
Surrounded by tranquil koi and lily ponds, the water features add a calming and reflective quality to the space, enhancing the connection with nature. This harmonious blend of architecture and landscape transforms the courtyard into a peaceful sanctuary—a perfect setting to linger, unwind, and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living.
