Armstrong House - back yard

This house was designed for a couple that wanted a residence that suited their lives: centered on travel, gardening and entertaining their friends and family. The property is adjacent to a busy intersection that generates a high amount of noise and limits privacy. In response, the house is designed around two courts: an entry court for cars and visitors that screens the living areas from the street; and a garden court in the rear of the lot that is made private by the arrangement of the rooms around the garden, providing those rooms with an intimate view into the garden and lap pool.
