PDDH

2022

PDDH is a renovation project that transforms a two-story residence into a refined architectural statement centered around a serene courtyard. Situated at the heart of the home, the courtyard serves as both a focal point and a quiet center, bringing nature inward while enhancing privacy. Its strategic placement ensures a continuous connection between the house's interior and its natural surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels frame the courtyard, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces while creating an interplay of light and shadow throughout the day.

The architectural narrative begins by showing how the courtyard becomes both focal point and quiet center. It then shifts to how floor-to-ceiling glass draws light and shadow into surrounding rooms.

PDDH

Driven by the idea of a two-storey house renovation centered on a courtyard that brings light, privacy, passive cooling, and nature into daily life, the architecture integrates specific strategies: the courtyard becomes both focal point and quiet center. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws light and shadow into surrounding rooms.

A Home Organized Around A Quiet Center

"A Home Organized Around A Quiet Center" is the closing idea for PDDH. It brings the project back to two design moves: how the courtyard becomes both focal point and quiet center and how room planning balances openness with protected private areas. Together, these decisions turn the brief into a lived spatial experience where movement, material choices, and atmosphere support the project's real program over time.
