Indoor-Outdoor Patchwork
Solution
Seek to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces by structuring site not as a single monolithic building on a peice of land, but as an intricate patchwork of indoor and outdoor spaces. This can be accomplished with outbuildings, courtyards, and wings.
Supporting Patterns
A courtyard refers to an outdoor space that is either entirely surrounded or mostly enclosed by a surrounding building. A courtyard allows the creation of a private & protected, natural-like environment that is woven into the fabric of the building. It can also provide a great way to bring more natural light into the building.
