Courtyard Entry House

This conceptual residential study is organised around a centred entry axis that aligns landscape, threshold, and interior living space. A shallow hipped roof integrates photovoltaic panels while extending generous eaves to control sun and rainfall. Timber screens and full-height glazing establish layered transparency, balancing privacy with openness to the garden. The composition prioritises proportion, symmetry, and climatic performance within a compact footprint.
