A concealed indoor, outside courtyard lies in wait for unsuspecting visitors

Japanese inspired elements play an active part in the design evolution of this new contemporary house.  With its massing scaled down to a series of cottage sized gable volumes, the house organizes itself around a central yet concealed outdoor courtyard. This space is visable from almost all spaces within and is a continued reference to the outdoors and a sense of serenity.
