Courtyard House is a minimalist house located in Shiga, Japan, designed by FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects. The site is located in a relaxed area where fields and farms are stretching. The west side of the site is visually connected to the distant hill, making the site look like the original Japanese landscape, together with the Torii gate and the approach to the adjacent shrine. Surrounded by such an environment, a house was requested which blends with the scenery while making the best use of the spacious site of about 304 m2. Incorporating this scenery, the house was then designed to form a U-shaped building with courtyard which secures privacy.
