Larkfield Court

Four wings around a courtyard, lit from above.

The house

Okada Werk drew a courtyard house for a site with no view worth framing, so the house makes its own. Four wings enclose a square of gravel and one maple; every principal room looks into it.

The roof is a single continuous plane with a slot cut over the colonnade, so the courtyard gets a moving band of light across the day and the rooms behind it never get direct sun.

Held privately. Details on application.

Where it is

Larkfield

Open farmland, big plots, and no view — so the houses look inward.
