Courtyard House

This is a 1,500 sf remodel and addition of an existing 1,000 sf 1950's home near the University of Texas Campus in Austin. The 'Z' shaped floor plan allows the incorporation of (3) private, interior courtyards.
Country: United States
The new front porch on the home extends the interior living space outward. At nearly 15 feet deep, the porch provides ample shade from the hot, Texas sun and is an inviting entrance to the home. The porch is a gathering place for the homeowners, their children and the neighbors.

Taking a nod from early pioneer homes, this breezway invites natural air currents to ventilate the home. The space is designed to connect two of the three exterior courtyards, to expand the footprint of the home into the landcape and make a comfortable ambiguity between the interior and exterior.

This small, private deck is the smallest of three enclosed courtyards of this home. Immediately off of the Master Bedroom, it provides the homeowners a quiet place to read or enjoy a glass of wine before bed, or a cup of coffee and the newspaper in the morning.
