Courtyard Houses Characteristics: • Thresholds are spatially defined both in configuration and material selection, to provide a strong sense of identity and ownership. • In-curtilage parking is incorporated within the footprint of the home, therefore removing onstreet parking from public amenity space. This enables street widths to be kept to a minimum and the possibilities of rapid charging for electric vehicles. • Flexible and adaptable internal living arrangements, with home working in mind, directly connect to external ground floor courtyards and upper level terraces, providing extended seasonal use. • Private amenity spaces are multi-functional, due to their varying orientations, sunlight/ daylight can be tracked throughout the day, with spaces utilised accordingly. • The variety of external space allows more flexibility of use. During summer months children can play in the courtyard gardens, whilst adult members of a household work or study on upper floor terraces (or variations on the above).
