Architect Designs a Dream House with a Beautiful Courtyard (House Tour)

Рет қаралды 548,194

Күн бұрын

Working with its signature material base, FGR Architects creates Courtyard House - a concrete dream house with a functional and airy interior. Shielded from the street, the minimalistic home enables natural ventilation and a sunlit landscape.
A low-profile building, Courtyard House represents a structural shift from the local built environment; an intriguing blur in the pattern of gable-roof constructions. Set back in its site, the dream house embraces its contextual standing, opening its grounds to the natural northern sunlight.
Upon approach, the architecture of the dream house outlines a sequence of 90 degree turns that leads residents from the footpath to the front gate, then to the main entry of the home. The journey serves to introduce the idea of connectivity, echoed within the interior design.
The layout of Courtyard House intentionally fosters passive solar heating and natural ventilation. A sightline directly connects the entrance of the dream house to the backyard, whilst large sliding doors join the living-kitchen-dining area to the outdoor space.
Though unique and compelling, Courtyard House is ultimately understated. Demonstrating skill in concrete and light play, FGR Architects creates a practical and elegant dream house that enables an immersive natural connection.

I would disagree because when all the walls are bland and monochromatic it pulls the focus to the interior.

This renovation seems to be quite innovative to me. So often renovations rise above neighboring homes but this one sits lower then neighboring houses and utilizes natural light through skylights and courtyards which surround the home and brighten the home. It's lovely and serene. The lines throughout the home are beautiful and the materials used are very nice. This is really quite lovely.

I was thinking the same thing! I’m an architecture student in Germany and basically every professor tells us that concrete is basically the devil because of its environmental impact! I can see why it’s nice to have a concrete home in Australia, it will create a fairly nice and cool interior climate. But they don’t even mention that concrete is bad…
