Text description provided by architect.
The property where this residence stands is occasionally flooded during heavy rains.
The clients requested a design that dealt with the problem, as well as providing security, privacy, good natural light and air circulation, and a space that their children could run around in.
In response the architect proposed locating a large courtyard in the center of the house that would let in light and air without sacrificing privacy.
The rooms are linked in a loop around the central courtyard, creating a space where the kids can run around and around.
