Site: 4,000m2

Building Footprint: 370m2

Hidden behind the soaring trees along Upper Harbour Drive, the Courtyard House lies flat over the existing large, sloping site, surrounded by planted terraces and landscaping.  

 

Inspired by the traditional single storey houses built in the early 19th century ‘Hu Tongs’ of Beijing, the arrangement of the living spaces seeks to re-adapt the configuration typo logies of ‘Si He Yuan’ from a modern approach, a four sided building with an internal open courtyard.
