Courtyard house / Tag

Palm Springs is a house in Palm Springs, CA, United States, designed by sticklab. The single-level home gathers daily life around a pool courtyard while long rooflines and slatted shade manage the desert light. Clear glazing opens the living areas to patios and gardens, setting up a measured back-and-forth between cooler interiors and sunlit outdoor rooms.

Copper Canyon House stands at the base of Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, AZ, United States, conceived by Architecture-Infrastructure-Research. The house reads as a thin copper tent raised on a concrete slab, poised above a scatter of boulders and washes. It’s a residential project that treats climate as a driver, pulling landscape and light through a broad central pavilion while carving quieter masonry rooms to the sides.

Travelers’ House stands in Warsaw, Poland, a ground-level house by BBGK Architekci shaped for a couple who live to roam and return. The plan revolves around an atrium and a tent-like roof that pulls garden air deep inside, then frames long views into the pines. Materials skew warm and tactile, and the interior nods to tropical modernism without turning away from the woods outside.

Trees Sliced Through sits in Ahmedabad, India, as a house by Matharoo Associates that channels garden, light, and concrete into a taut domestic rhythm. The design folds living, dining, and intimate courts between thick walls and red planes, drawing the eye from shaded interiors to lawns and water. It’s a residence with a clear sequence and a crisp material voice.

Parkside is a compact two-storey house in Fitzroy North, Australia, by Austin Maynard Architects. Built at the rear of the owners’ former terrace block, the home fronts a leafy park and favors downsizing with dignity. The project distills daily life into a light-filled plan with a courtyard at its heart and long views to the trees. It’s designed for aging-in-place without giving up sociability or a sense of address.

Casa del Sol sits in Conil de le Frontera, Spain, a house by Steyn Studio that draws its plan and poise from the sun. The project threads courtyards through a low, stone-lined ensemble and crowns it with a latticed central volume. Materials do the talking here, from Andalusian limestone to clay tiles that temper glare and heat, while timber and woven textures warm the interiors for relaxed coastal living.

Sleeping Lab·Tang sits in Beijing, China, conceived by Atelier d’More as a hospitality project with a crafted touch. Set at a key village crossroads near Universal Studios, the reworked B&B turns a once-abandoned compound into a calm, white-walled retreat. The team preserves the existing framework while reshaping the entry and courtyards into a coherent sequence that brings daylight, privacy, and a sense of flow.

Casa Clausura sits in Mendiolaza, Argentina, as a single-family house by Agustín Lozada. The project resists suburban habits, settling low on the site and turning its back on the punishing western exposure. Instead of spectacle, the plan collects rooms around an inward courtyard with a pool, privileging light, shade, and privacy over frontage. It reads as a measured reply to its setting, quiet in posture yet exacting in intent.
