The clients for this project requested a bath from which they could gaze out on a courtyard. We planted a gsymbol treeh in the courtyard and designed the bathroom to look out over it. The courtyard brings light and breezes into the bathroom and kitchen/living/dining room while maintaining privacy for those inside. The exterior is a black box with square windows on the southern side. The windows provide an accent to the facade while also gently linking the exterior and interior of the house.
