Inside Out Home with Interior Courtyard



We love this inside out home for its innovative design and bold take on traditional architecture. This stunning open concept home by Japanese architecture firm On Design is essentially an outdoor living room, indoors. Featuring direct access to the outside through expansive openings, this unusual home boasts an interior courtyard at its center, surrounded by more-conventional living spaces. Open staircases lead upstairs, where rooms offer privacy without compromising that ever-present "outdoor" factor. With access to an upper balcony through sliding glass doors, this is the perfect spot for daytime people watching and evening star-gazing. On Design
