A residential courtyard precedent showcasing the integration of vertical timber slat cladding with large-format sliding glass systems to unify interior and exterior living.
- What we like about this project
- The interior open-riser timber staircase aligns directly with the courtyard axis, reinforcing the transparency of the ground floor.

- Geometry
- An asymmetrical two-story courtyard elevation featuring vertical batten cladding above expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding glass ground floor openings.
- Facade system
- Rain-screen timber batten cladding over upper floor walls with aluminum-framed sliding glass panels below.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame or steel construction supporting upper-level cantilevered volumes.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential courtyard scale with human-sized sliding door openings and stair visible inside.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting crisp shadow lines onto the pale ground-level pavers and artificial turf.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, clean, and warm due to the combination of natural wood tones and abundant daylight.
- Environmental context
- Enclosed private courtyard or light well finished with light-colored floor tiles and synthetic turf.
- Spatial experience
- The composition blurs indoor and outdoor boundaries, drawing the eye from the paved courtyard directly through the open sliding doors into the kitchen and stair hall.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular vertical rhythm of timber battens contrasted against large clear panes of glass.
