The Courtyard House – Working and Raising Kids At One Place

Courtyard House

The Courtyard House is the home for two architects who called themselves Studio Junction. It’s situated within the shell of an old warehouse without front and backyards. It’s inspired by an ancient form of architecture and a new form of North American urban thinking. The house is organized around a central courtyard that provides abundant light and a safe play area for the couple’s two kids. All the windows look inwards. The couple’s offices are also integrated into the house to combine working at home and watching the kids. There are a lot of built-in storage around the house, including drawers under the stairs. With its warm and smart interior the house shows us how cool parents cool be when they are designing the house to be the perfect place to bring kids up. [Studio Junction]
