Courtyard house architecture offers a cool blend on nature and contemporary design. This concrete and wood house by Korean architects IROJE KHM artfully incorporates indoors and out into its layered levels for living. With one level below ground and two levels rising above, this courtyard architecture in Goyang, Korea puts a modern spin on the home, with a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The structure’s concrete base anchors the design, and is topped by a wood and glass volume that is light, bright and airy with views of the surrounding neighborhood. The wood clad house puts living spaces on the upper levels, while the lower level is largely dedicated to the gardens. Like the exterior, the courtyard interior design features warm wood which wonderfully contrasts the cool, contemporary concrete. A central courtyard at the heart of the home is the focal point, with interiors opening onto it or overlooking it through large windows. IROJE KHM
