Brick Courtyard - Photos & Ideas

Reimagined as a quiet retreat on a mixed-use Mission block, this former munitions depot was transformed into a single-family residence by reworking existing forms. A bunker-like concrete structure was cut in half to form a covered patio that opens onto a new central courtyard. The residence behind was remodeled around a large central kitchen, with a combination skylight/hatch providing ample light and roof access. The multiple structures are tied together by untreated cedar siding, intended to gradually fade to grey to match the existing concrete and corrugated steel.

This little patio is just outside the master suite and gives a private spot for reading or resting in a cozy space. The stone work mimics the front porch and was also used on top of the columns. The lattice allows for light and air circulation while still giving a feeling of enclosure and intimacy. Autumn ferns are easy care and won't get too big, with splashes of seasonal color surround a small fountain. The white Chippendale-style gate works with the color of the house and invites you to wander out. Photo by Gail Scott
