Japanese Courtyard House
Japanese Courtyard House is a unique take on a contemporary home with an atrium that encloses a central garden with a glass roof. It’s designed to grow fruits, vegetables, and produce in a northern region that experiences all four seasons including warm summers and cold winters. There are automatically operated ridge vent windows at the atrium that releases hot air out of the home in warmer weather and a geothermal heating and cooling system that efficiently keeps the home comfortable during the hot summer and cold winter days. This house has 2400square feet of living space and 750 square feet of garden area with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It’s a place where family and friends can visit, sit outside in a meditating garden on comfortable traditional Japanese chairs, and find their inner peace.
