Being immersed within a natural environment has many health benefits for both our physical and mental well being. This 2 story courtyard house design is a contemporary take on a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian home designs through the use of natural wood, inclusion of natural lighting throughout, and connection with nature.

The primary structure of this building is wood and the exterior materials range from natural stone to concrete stucco and metal roof. The interior of the house is designed with as much open space as possible to let in natural light and air. There are lots of 4 panel sliding door systems throughout that blends the interior space with the courtyard garden.
