Congratulations to Clare Cousins Architects for winning an Architecture Award in the Residential Architecture – Houses (New) category for Courtyard House in the 2024 Victorian Architecture Awards.
Courtyard House reinterprets the local corner shop typology into a modest and generous home that shares its courtyard garden with the street. The difficult site constraints have been negotiated in a series of efficient formal moves that belies the amount of program within.
Upper-level bedrooms are concealed within the roof form and the lower living rooms all benefit from the courtyard garden outlook. Materiality is sensitive and restrained, responding to the original shop and the weatherboard homes in the area.
The corner shop has allowed a zero-setback street response, challenging conventional planning setbacks, resulting in an architectural response which considers and contributes to the local streetscape. This project is an admirable example of an infill project that has managed to balance density with a sensitive and site responsive design outcome that contributes to the lives of the inhabitants and the city. Permeability and privacy are carefully balanced to ensure there is opportunity for both connection and retreat. This is a singular and cohesive solution that navigates the complexities of heritage, orientation, scale and amenity.
