In response to an urban corner site bounded by neighbours and street boundaries, John drew on innovative solutions for his own family home. The result is a playful, light filled contemporary residence where the key spaces are connected to a small private courtyard. Externally John combined timber and corrugate as a nod to the grey farm buildings around which he grew up, woven into a modern aesthetic. The courtyard house is an oasis hiding in plain sight, a tranquil sanctuary in the heart of a built-up environment.
