    House Closed Outside, Open Inside

    Follow your intuition to save photos that catch your eye. Explore spatial designs to uncover implicit preferences you haven't yet put into words.

    A closed-outside, open-inside home blocks views from roads and neighbors while drawing light, breeze, and greenery into the interior. Keeping exterior walls private while centering living areas and rooms around a courtyard or terrace allows you to enjoy an open feeling while maintaining privacy. Fine-tuning window orientations and heights to direct views toward the sky or plants creates a serene landscape even in an urban environment. Reducing external distractions makes the light and openness inside even more striking. Introducing homes closed to the outside and open to the inside, carefully managing distances to reveal a rich living landscape within.
