London-Based Narrow Houses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Yellow Cloud Studio Completes the Courtyard House Design

— January 7, 2023 — Art & Design
London architecture and design studio Yellow Cloud Studio completes the latest Courtyard House, which is a renovated space in Stoke Newington. It results in a bright living space that surrounds an internal courtyard, as referenced in the name. It rests on a long and narrow land that invites a lot of natural lighting and cross ventilation.

The design studio speaks about the Courtyard House's layout, noting that "There was a need for natural light to reach the middle part of the house, thus the idea was born to retain a part of the rear garden as a courtyard that would sit amongst the functional layout of the space. A Japanese cloud tree occupies the courtyard, which is framed by a 3.7-metre-long fixed glass, creating a dominant focal point in the space."
