dear designboom reader,
while summertime may soon be coming to an end, private courtyards in architectural projects around the globe keep us connected to the outdoors all year round. designed by formative architects, the ‘walden house’ in south korea develops around an enclosed garden and a fruit tree that remains visible from every room of the project. in ecuador, natura futura's 'house of silence' is defined by a central courtyard that provides a peaceful, tranquil place for its residents to relax and play in.
an open courtyard marks the focal point of the 'roof house' by looklen architects in bangkok, which brings natural air and sunlight within the interior. finally, kohan ratto arquitectos creates an urban oasis amid a densely-built neighborhood in buenos aires with 'PH scalabrini ortiz', a vertical micro-house complete with a plant-filled courtyard.
thanks for reading!
