27th Avenue

The Courtyard Residence is arranged to frame the view of an unusually deep rear yard in San Francisco. Each level is designed to engage the outdoors in a distinct manner. The lower level opens out to a contained and private courtyard, with intimately scaled spaces and carefully selected plantings. The mid level is directly connected to the main yard, with a deck for entertaining and a generous lawn and patio for relaxing in the sun. The upper level has a framed deck designed as a perch to observe a party, watch the wind blow through the trees, or sip a quiet glass of wine in the twilight.
