Clustered Living Around a Shared Courtyard

The project is conceived as a cluster of three independent family houses and a separate guest wing, all organized around a central courtyard. Each house functions as a self-sufficient unit, ensuring privacy and autonomy, while being internally oriented toward both private courtyards and the shared central space.

The main courtyard, with its pool and shaded outdoor living areas, acts as the social heart of the project—bringing the families together for daily life and gatherings. The guest zone remains distinct, maintaining cultural privacy while still being part of the overall composition.

The design balances separation and connection, creating a cohesive environment that supports multi-generational living within a unified architectural framework.
