It is this strength of spirit that is symbolized by the centennial tree, which is planted in the center of the courtyard and surrounded by water. By the owner's request, the front of the house is covered on nearly all sides. The exterior wooden screens allow air to flow into the living rooms. A central courtyard also helps fill the room with both light and fresh air. And between the bedroom and the courtyard, there's an opportunity to open up these screens. A kaleidoscope of light, shadows, air, and screens create an unusual feeling for its inhabitants. At times the tree wakes up and bathes in light. The whole aesthetic is also enhanced by the fact that the influence of the outside world factors are minimized.
The creators of this house – Wallflower Architecture + Design.
