The Courtyard House by Studio Junction Architects

This project, called ‘The Courtyard House’, is designed by Studio Junction Inc. and was inspired by an ancient form of architecture and a new form urban thinking.

By converting a contractor warehouse in a mixed-use industrial neighborhood, the ambition was to create a modern, affordable home and studio for a family of four – one which could successfully adapt to a mid-block or laneway situation, where there is no typical front or back. The design of the house is generated by an emphasis on the views and activities of the interior courtyards, where all the windows look inwards.ign of the house is generated by an emphasis on the views and activities of the interior courtyards, where all the windows look inwards.
