Canyon

House

in the

Mercado District

Bold lines and prominent metal screens define this single family, two-story residence. Composed with a long continuous canyon-like courtyard running through the center of the home; the use of light wells paired with large expanses of glass along the inner courtyard and the north elevation allow the spaces to take advantage of reflected light and deep cool shade. The narrow, continuous outdoor space runs along the length of the property book-ended with metal screens that allow for light and air to flow through the space, while providing security and privacy.
