The Courtyard House / Atelier Varun Goyal

The primary inspiration for The Courtyard House project was the idea of fostering family togetherness within a modern context. The key concept was to create two separate yet interconnected homes for two brothers from a joint family, preserving their strong bond while respecting their individual needs for privacy. The central courtyard emerged as the core element, symbolizing unity and providing a shared space for both households. The design was guided by a "Contemporary and Contextual" theme, blending contemporary aesthetics with the local context, and the overarching philosophy emphasized minimalism and a deep connection with nature.
