Transformed from an overlooked site into a richly layered home, this project demonstrates the potential of infill housing to make use of existing suburban infrastructure. Designed with retirement in mind, the owners can age in place while staying connected to their community. The courtyard house typology reflects the owners’ lifestyle while responding to challenging site constraints. Environmental performance is supported by passive ventilation and high levels of natural light. A north-facing winter garden helps manage seasonal change, while the courtyard layout improves airflow, comfort, and privacy.
