The Brief

From dark to light.

A ground-floor apartment turned its back on its own courtyard. The owners wanted daylight, air and a home that felt twice its size.

The Concept

We treated the courtyard as an outdoor room, opening the living space to it with deep reveals and borrowed light.

The Result

A light-filled home where the courtyard does the work of a fourth bedroom — the apartment feels generous at every hour.
