O COURTYARD HOUSE
The loose knot
Location: Beverly hills, Los Angeles
Status: Paused
The O house is an attempt at reimagining the courtyard house typology. It is simply a continuous volumetric strip that creates a loose knot around a central picturesque tree. The biomorphic nature of the house maximizes visual interaction with the inner courtyard on multiple levels, while creating panoramic views outward for the guests. Strategic distribution of public and private spaces assures privacy and non conflicting views for hosts and guests.
