This Architect Solved a Dark Home With One Simple Move

Faced with the challenge of a south-facing site, Ha Architecture reimagines the Victorian terrace with a central courtyard to bring light and a connection to nature.

The clients have lived in the area for 18 years and not interested in moving; they wanted an additional bedroom and space to entertain friends. With rich timbers, exposed concrete slab, and terracotta tiles, every detail feels calm and enduring in this courtyard house.

The modern extension, which references old stable structures, sits at the rear of the site, with a courtyard separating the Victorian from the contemporary.
