Courtyard Bungalow

A quiet street front, a shaded courtyard, and rooms planned so the afternoon heat never sits in the living hall.

The plan keeps the public rooms to the north and east, with a deep verandah as the real entrance to the house. Bedrooms sit away from the road. Services stack so plumbing runs stay short, which is where bungalow budgets usually leak.

The elevation is calm on purpose: a long shadow line, a recessed entry, and a material palette a local mason can finish well. It is the kind of home we draw when a family wants presence without a complicated façade.
