Did you ever desire to live in a house that connects to nature no matter how modern it looks?
We are pretty sure that everyone would like to live in a home where there are trees and a garden. Nothing beats being around nature especially if you work in the busy streets of the city. Seeing plants and trees a good way to relax our eyes and our mind.
So what is the solution?
For homes with small floor area, they add some plants in the interior. Others even create a mini interior garden by putting potted plants together in one area. Some prefer to use the balcony or terrace to add plants to their home. As a result, their balcony turns out really beautiful even if it is small like the inspiring list we featured before.
Is that all we can do?
Of course not! There are many different ways to do it. For homes that are blessed with a spacious lot, a courtyard is a perfect answer. Others allocate a big space for a yard so that they can include a pool, a gazebo, and other structures. But others only have a small courtyard which is actually enough to meet a homeowner’s need.
This is what we will see in the Courtyard House located in Australia. Obviously, it is named that way because of its courtyard. What is interesting about the house is that the structure wraps around the central courtyard. Yes, you got it right! The courtyard is located at the center of the house! Isn’t that impressive?
But aside from the courtyard, the interior of the home is very nice too. The living spaces event seamlessly connects to that courtyard making it possible to breathe fresh air and see the relaxing greens in the garden even when you are inside the home.
