Courtyard House

Elmhurst, IL


A new single family residence planned for a typical suburban street where a home’s relationship to the outdoors can be found in the front or back yards. This house is organized as to provide a courtyard, creating a visual connection to the outdoors in both the dining room and family room. The resulting added surface area to the outside makes for an increased variety of ways to experience the home allowing the modestly sized spaces to feel much larger.
