Communal Courtyards, Dividing Screens
Michael Warren, October 2019
Creating a co-living space for two community-minded families, the townhouse aims to provide a comfortable mix of shared and private spaces. Centered around both interior and exterior communal courtyards, the home provides a space for the two families to host events and pursue their passions. Simultaneously, a wooden screen weaves through the core of the building, creating divisions within the space while still allowing exterior light to permeate through the whole space.
