Text description provided by the architects. In the Central Courtyard project, a tunnel/bar structure features a continuous arrangement of stacked arches, resulting in an intricate three-dimensional central courtyard. This courtyard offers varying degrees of permeability, evident in the floor (through the pool), the walls (open to opposing views), and toward the sky.
Two L-shaped elements, both in plan and section, intersect to form a courtyard at the core of the mass. Unlike its predecessors, this three-dimensional central courtyard is connected with the outside at various levels, and through different configurations, it generates varying degrees of enclosure, privacy, and layers within the space.
By utilizing the sky above, openings in the facades, and a sunken pool on the floor, this courtyard fosters soft, porous, and adaptable spaces that enhance the enclosed interior spaces and the semi-open areas of the floors.
