Courtyard Weekend House
A family second home designed around the weekend rhythm
Project Summary
A family second home planned around short but high-quality stays, with a courtyard as the center of the weekend routine.
Challenge
The house would not be occupied every day, but every stay needed to feel immediately restful and easy to maintain.
Approach
A courtyard became the visual center, and the finish system was narrowed to durable materials with a simple single-story route.

The project now works as a clear reference for clients seeking a manageable and satisfying weekend house.
