The home is organized around an inward-facing courtyard that serves as the primary spatial and experiential anchor. This strategy allows the architecture to control views, layer spaces, and create a strong sense of retreat. Clean stucco-clad volumes, restrained detailing, and carefully proportioned roof forms establish a calm architectural language. Interior spaces open directly to the courtyard, reinforcing indoor–outdoor relationships and bringing daylight deep into the plan. The courtyard functions as both a connector and destination, supporting daily life, entertaining, and quiet reflection. The result is a composed, deeply personal residence that transforms a suburban lot into a layered and engaging living environment.
