A hospitality courtyard precedent utilizing concentric circular geometry and a sunken stepped basin to create a contemplative, inward-looking spatial center.
- What we like about this project
- The concentric steps of the central pool mirror the curved arc of the upper roofline aperture overhead.

- Geometry
- Concentric circular geometry defines the central sunken pool and courtyard perimeter with outward radial room openings.
- Facade system
- Plastered masonry wall with punched glazed openings facing the courtyard.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry or concrete frame with flat slab construction.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate hospitality courtyard, roughly one to two stories in height.
- Lighting
- Soft overcast daylight washes the white plaster surfaces uniformly with gentle highlights.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, introverted, and meditative through clean lines and muted monolithic tones.
- Environmental context
- Enclosed private courtyard open to the sky, shielded from external surroundings.
- Spatial experience
- Inward-focused courtyard isolates the viewer, drawing the eye toward the stepped sunken basin while rooms gaze inward.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating window and door bays along the curved perimeter echo the concentric steps of the central pool.
