CPK75 House / AOMO

The house is a 5-bedroom house with a GFA of about 650 sqm. located in a private alley, so the environment around is very safe and calm. The Design brief from the owner was a reference image of a Japanese stone courtyard at Ryoanji Temple in Japan. The owner wanted to have a similar kind of stone court in the house.  There were also site issues from the noise from a few Mosques around the area, and the bad smell from a dumpsite when it rains. Typically, in our tropical climate, we try to avoid an enclosed courtyard due to the strong sunlight and heat. This house was an exception we made a different design approach. We made it outside-in. We brought the stone court inside the control environment from noise and smell and deal with the rest.
