2 Courtyard House / Robertson Design
A fairly simple building, this house has two distinctive features, the 35-foot cantilever of the 2nd floor and the atypical site plan with dual courtyards substituted for the traditional suburban backyard. Both of these features are a direct result of 3 fairly prosaic goals: the client?s desire for privacy, an efficient use of the pie-shaped lot, and a façade that isn?t dominated by a garage door. Layered over these requests is the architect?s inclination to create a highly controlled and beautiful entry experience. The building itself consists of 2 (roughly) rectangular volumes that are connected by a glazed hallway.
