In this lookbook , we've collected eight homes from Vietnam to the USA that are kept ventilated and illuminated by central courtyards. Courtyards have been used in ancient and contemporary architecture as a tool to trap and funnel breezes and natural light into the core of a building. Most often, they are completely open to the elements and can extend upwards through multiple levels of a building, with some surrounded by balconies, loggias, or walkways.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
