Siakago Courtyard Residence – UB 06
Introduction
We were commissioned to design this house for a parcel that is on a hilly site. The house is to be located at one end of the farm and needs to act as a vintage point from which farm life can be observed and enjoyed. This being a Courtyard House, It mainly has 3 Parts:
- The Sleeping Quarters
- The Front and Back Courtyards
- The Kitchen, Dining and Lounge Areas
This means, the house can be built incrementally without any compromise to function or purpose.
House Features and Advantages
- Front Courtyard – This can be used as a place for resting, hosting events and relaxation. It add to the quality of family life without any extra cost of building.
- Back Courtyard – This allows for sufficient laundry space and a play area for kids. Can also be used as extension of Kitchen or Dining
- Picket Fence – In the case of this being a farm house, one can still be outdoors and keep domestic animals like dogs and chicken outside the Courtyard Zone.
- Large Windows: Both for the Lounge, Master Bedroom and other bedrooms. This allows for visual continuity and connection with the outdoors, letting in borrowed views.
- Rear Entrance to the Kitchen and close proximity to main Lounge
- Privacy of the bedroom spaces from the rest of the house
- Rainwater Collection and recycling
