Excerpt: Courtyard House for FABPREFAB, designed by Chrofi, is a prefabricated, off grid, modern interpretation of the traditional Australian rural home.

Project Description

[Text as submitted by architect] Courtyard House is a prefabricated, off grid, modern interpretation of the traditional Australian rural home, developed in collaboration with FABPREFAB. The verandah is enlarged to become an outdoor room, whilst a sliding screen to the rear of the dwelling allows flexibility between providing an intimate courtyard or opening up to the expansive landscape.

The prefabricated typology allows the home to be lightly grounded without degrading the site’s landscape with invasive construction.
