The MNG Courtyard House, designed by JI+TA Architect in Bangkok, Thailand, offers a remarkable solution to the challenges of a narrow 10-meter plot surrounded by abandoned land. By creating an inner courtyard, the design allows each room to breathe and enjoy its own view, with the courtyard serving as the heart of the house. The double-volume living room, open-plan dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into the courtyard, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.
