THE
Courtyard House

Our clients had lived in Surrey for many years and as they approached retirement age they wished to downsize but loved where they lived, so resolved to split their site and build a new home in their rear garden.

They approached John Pardey Architects, respected as one of the best in the world, who came up with the concept for this beautiful property.

The southern part of the rear garden offered a space some 30M wide and 25M deep so the concept was to wrap the site in a garden wall to create an inward looking courtyard house.
The courtyard house has a special place in architectural history crossing many cultures and periods. It offers privacy and a unique sense of place, efficient planning and inside–outside living.
