Wooden Central Courtyard Home Design – Choi Ropiha Fighera

Wooden Central Courtyard Home Design by Choi Ropiha Fighera – The Narrabeen House is located on the edge of Narrabeen Lagoon. The Choi Ropiha Fighera Architects designer decided to a central courtyard is introduced as the principal organising element for the planning with all of the house’s key public spaces – living room, dining room, kitchen, study and pool – grouped around the courtyard to connect these spaces visually, and physically when the courtyard walls are opened up. The Wooden Central Courtyard Home Design by Choi Ropiha Fighera also has an unusual sectional arrangement driven partly by the requirement to elevate the interior 1.2m above ground level to safeguard against flooding but also by the desire to have open plan spaces with dual aspect – north for sun and south for the view.
