庭院式住宅是对意大利宫廷式住宅和澳大利亚庭院式住宅传统的点缀，创造了室外和室内空间的持续联系。房子由三个景观区划分：前院、庭院和后院。景观庭院是房子的核心，掩盖了相邻的住宅，同时也露出了周围树木的树冠。
The Courtyard House is a nod to the tradition of the Italian Palazzo and Australian courtyard house, creating the constant connection between outdoor and indoor spaces. The house is divided by three landscaped zones: the front yard, the courtyard and the rear yard. The landscaped courtyard is the heart of the house, masking the neighbouring dwellings while at the same time revealing canopies of the surrounding trees.
这个宁静平和的空间与房屋的内部空间有着密切的联系，这些空间从不同的角度展现出来。对景观和自然的进一步协商是通过材料调色板实现的。内部的木制板条天花板不仅引导和引导游客通过这些空间，而且还与白色的混凝土地板形成了戏剧性的并列。修长的棕色砖块被用于尊重地整合Templestowe周边环境的外部结构，并进一步发挥建筑形式比例的水平性质。
This tranquil, calm space has an intimate connection with the interior spaces of the house which reveal themselves from various angles. Further negotiation of the landscape and nature is achieved through the material palette. The internal timber batten ceiling not only guides and navigates visitors through the spaces, but also creates a dramatic juxtaposition to the white concrete flooring. Elongated brown bricks were used respectfully integrate the exterior fabric of the surrounding context of Templestowe and a further play on the horizontal nature of the built form proportions.
这种功利性的材料在它的环境中很舒服，也是对这个曾经的工人阶级郊区的一种提醒。砖也被用在内部，创造了一系列柱廊，这些柱廊被窗户打破，使庭院的光线洒向走廊。
A utilitarian material which sits comfortably within its context is also a reminder of this once working class suburb. The brick is also used inside, creating a series of colonnades which are broken by windows, allowing the light of the courtyard to spill into the corridor.
