About the Award-Winning House Design: This design reimagines the classic Persian courtyard for contemporary living, emphasizing functionality and seamless indoor outdoor harmony. Set on a modest 220 square meter urban lot, the home centers around a transparent glass volume enveloped by lush landscaping, creating a versatile living area . The courtyard stretches both upward and outward, linking levels via a duplex design that enhances spatial flow. By adopting an outside in philosophy, the project breathes new life into the courtyard concept, transforming it into a dynamic, practical core for modern compact residences.
This palette has a calming feel, evoking peaceful balance.
