Palm Beach island residence
This courtyard house in Palm Beach, Florida is organized around a central void that draws light, air, and landscape into the core of the home. From a quiet, minimal facade, the project opens inward through a sequence of gardens and compressed spaces that heighten the experience of arrival before releasing into a sky-lit courtyard defined by a circular oculus. This central space anchors the plan, allowing all primary rooms to maintain a visual and spatial connection to it. Rooted in the region’s tradition of garden living, the house blurs the boundary between inside and outside, creating a continuous condition where architecture and landscape are experienced as one.
