Text description provided by architect.
The client requested a design that would melt into the surrounding paddy landscape as well as provide a safe, stable living environment for generations to come.
The architect responded with a plan that incorporates multiple courtyards, ensuring the privacy necessary for an open lifestyle even if homes are built on surrounding lots in the future.
If two generations with different schedules eventually share the home, the courtyards will also provide a comfortable degree of distance between the living spaces occupied by various members of the household.
