"The Patio house reinterprets the prairie house typology, with its large overhangs that skim along the horizon, in a tropical setting. The E-shaped floor plan creates two courtyards that merge with the larger lawns as well as the pool, towards the North."
The Patio house adapts the prairie house architectural typology to a tropical environment on a one-acre site. The design responds to the client's request for a contemporary residence with substantial outdoor entertaining space. The E-shaped floor plan generates two internal courtyards that seamlessly connect with the surrounding lawns and pool area to the north. Large overhangs characteristic of prairie architecture extend horizontally across the design, creating visual continuity with the landscape horizon while providing shade and shelter in the tropical climate.
