The design for atrium house is based on the desire to both enjoy a south-facing aspect into a garden while also engaging with a courtyard, resulting in the main body of the house forming the boundaries of the inner courtyard. The front door opens onto a long circulation spine along the courtyard edge and is screened from the adjacent living space by a glass door. The principal living area is south facing, with sliding glazed doors enabling the house to be opened onto the courtyard, while pocket sliding louvers provide solar shading from summer sun.
