Residential
An exterior courtyard precedent combining traditional Mediterranean roof forms and arched openings with modern travertine and glass detailing, ideal for luxury residential design.
- What we like about this project
- The transition from formal stone-clad ground floor to soft, naturalistic meadow planting surrounding the pool.

- Geometry
- Long, low-slung two-story horizontal massing with a rhythm of arched upper-floor windows and full-height glazed openings on the ground floor.
- Facade system
- Stucco upper level with punched arched window openings; travertine stone-clad lower level with sliding glass expanses.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry or concrete frame with stone and stucco cladding.
- Spatial scale
- Domestic scale; a two-story residential estate layout viewed from across the garden.
- Lighting
- Late afternoon or morning golden hour sunlight casting crisp shadows from tree foliage across the upper stucco facade.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, warm, and sun-drenched pastoral luxury.
- Environmental context
- A private, sunlit courtyard garden with mature trees, native grasses, and a swimming pool framing the residence.
- Spatial experience
- The courtyard sequence moves from grassy lawn across stone steppers, past a sunken pool and low travertine planters, toward an outdoor dining terrace sheltered by the building wing.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical window rhythms along the upper facade balanced by horizontal stone banding and pool edges.
