Courtyard Studio

This compact studio is conceived as a single-volume pavilion, prioritising spatial efficiency and controlled openness within a tight urban edge. A shallow concrete roof plane extends beyond the enclosure to temper heat gain, while timber screens modulate privacy and daylight. Full-height glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing the space to operate as a flexible living cell. The scheme is entirely conceptual, examining minimal dwelling typologies suited to warm-climate neighbourhoods.
