Fairfield Courtyard House

Contemporary Exterior, Melbourne

Fairfield Courtyard House was created as an inner-city sanctuary for a retiring couple. Natural light, ventilation, and garden views are integrated through the incorporation of two courtyards. The first, a courtyard to the north which adjoins the kitchen, living, and dining areas, fostering an indoor-outdoor connection. Meanwhile, the second courtyard serves as a seasonal backdrop, visually accessible from the main bedroom, ensuite, walk-in robe, and hallway. The large courtyard to the north is shielded by a substantial rear wall, offering a sense of seclusion and tranquillity. Flanked on the other side by an outdoor pavilion which is centrally positioned within the home. This further enhances the privacy while allowing access for family and friends from both sides.
