Last updated on · ⓘ How we make our floor plans
This Japanese-inspired, single-story courtyard house combines two bedrooms with an open living wing. Its U-shaped plan separates shared spaces from sleeping quarters, linked by an entry gallery and dedicated circulation.
The floor plans were created from the visual concept image of the house, so they may not be 100% accurate, although every effort was made to make them as accurate as possible.
Facade and Architecture
The design pairs pale, smooth-rendered walls with timber-lined eaves and vertical wooden screens. Tall, dark-framed glazing gives the elevations a crisp rhythm. Shallow roof planes appear metal-clad, with slim edges and generous overhangs. Stone-finished engawa walkways reinforce the Japanese architectural character.

Main Floor
The main floor is listed at 1,561 sq ft, with overall dimensions of 50 ft wide by 44 ft deep. Kitchen, dining, and living spaces occupy the left wing. Bedrooms sit in the right wing, while the entry gallery and service rooms connect them across the top of the plan.
The open living wing allows movement between cooking, dining, and lounging without corridor detours. The bedroom hall keeps access to sleeping rooms separate from these shared spaces. Two engawa walkways line the inward-facing edges of the wings, framing the central courtyard.
Storage is distributed where it is needed: a pantry beside the kitchen, a coat closet at the entry, and a linen closet near the shared bathroom. Both bedrooms have dedicated closets. Coats need not commandeer a dining chair.
