About The Project

Corten Courtyard House is a family residence in Melbourne where pale brick, weathered steel, and planted courtyards give every room a quiet relationship to the outdoors.

The challenge

The compact urban site required privacy from neighboring homes while preserving daylight, garden views, and a clear flow between shared family spaces.

The Result

The finished home turns its inward-looking footprint into a sequence of light-filled rooms, with the courtyard acting as both a private retreat and the heart of daily life.
