An expressive courtyard building precedent showcasing an inverted curved concrete roof form paired with warm timber framing and multi-level balconies.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic upward scoop of the top concrete roof contrasts with the organic canted line of the mid-level concrete parapet.

- Geometry
- Asymmetric multi-level composition organized around a central courtyard, featuring an expressive upward-curved concrete roof slab and angled balcony parapets.
- Facade system
- Exposed concrete structural frame with floor-to-ceiling timber-framed folding and sliding glass doors.
- Structural guess
- In-situ reinforced concrete frame with post-tensioned or cast roof slab and integrated shear walls.
- Spatial scale
- Low-rise residential or studio scale, roughly two to three stories surrounding a central outdoor void.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight with clear blue sky casting soft shadows across the courtyard and deep structural reveals.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, open-air serenity balancing raw concrete mass with natural wood tones and living green elements.
- Environmental context
- Courtyard setting open to the sky, surrounded by multi-level architectural volumes with integrated planting.
- Spatial experience
- The eye moves from the enclosed courtyard green space upward through layered timber-framed apertures and open walkways into the sweeping roof canopy.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal timber door panels contrasted against the heavy sweeping diagonal of the upper concrete roof line.
