The Courtyard House.

These clients came to us wanting a multi-generational design (attached ADU) for their parents to live in, and a courtyard in the center of the main house.

Their family is originally from Mexico and they have always wanted a courtyard home. Their inspiration came from Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Mexico City. Frida's courtyard at her home was painted with bright cobalt blue walls, terracotta tiled floors, lots of plants and other bright colors of yellows, reds and greens.

We were able to collaborate with them to design their one-of-a-kind home just as they had envisioned it.
