Courtyard House by Ha Architecture is a Japanese inspired home, presented as a merging of heritage and contemporary design. The home’s streetscape heritage overlay allowed the existing home façade to be maintained; it was restored and repaired to its original condition, including the original windows. Internally, a meeting of contemporary and traditional principles imbues the space with a tranquil charm - a quiet space of reflection and rest.
Inside the Japanese inspired home, Courtyard House is centred around its internal courtyard. The brief required an adaption of contemporary Japanese architecture and lifestyle ideologies, with a focus on outdoor spaces and passive design principles. The entryway is intimate, instilled with ambient light and an immediate saturation of timber. This sensory experience allows Courtyard House to emerge as a Japanese inspired home, propelled by an inherent sustainability that underpins the very fabric of the project. Windows frame backdrops of bamboo and showcase selected stone features, creating a constant discourse between the internal and external spaces. The landscape orientation, as well as vantage points, play a considered role in the architecture.
As a Japanese inspired home, Courtyard House reflects simplicity and asymmetry, while its textured timber interior breathes a warmth and tactile quality to the space. The timber screens that encase the courtyard are both reminiscent of classic and contemporary Japanese design. They provide sun shading and the opportunity to control light; with the windows open and the shutters closed, the breeze filters indoors while promoting cross ventilation and sun protection. As a Japanese inspired home, the screens also interact with the space in a distinctive dance of shadow play. The physical interaction with the screens becomes part of the daily ritual within the space, an experience that connects its residents to the materials.

Hands down one of the most beautiful homes I've seen here. Always been a fan of simplicity. Way better than the other mega houses.
I couldn't agree more. I've watched this video 3 times.
I immediately felt home. The narration, the cinematography, the music background. It's perfection.
Is it possible to have a look at the floor plan?
Amen 🙏
This is everything I have ever dreamed of in a home. Simplicity, tranquility, with a beautiful balance with nature. I am at peace just looking at it.
I dream of that white cactus sculpture. Anyone know where it is from please? Or where one can buy a similar one?
@@newleft2254 Yes, that is a Gufram cactus designed by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello.
@@holly939 Thank you!!!!
@@newleft2254 You're welcome!
Tranquil sounds you might hear in an Australian suburb:
- Kookaburra
- Annoying ass birds
- Subaru WRX Mufflers
- Groups of teenagers smashing bottles on the sidewalk
- Loud Aussie slang coming from all directions spread sparsely throughout the day
- Neighbours 15 year old son blasting One-Four from a JBL speaker he got for Christmas
- Screaming baby resulting from neglect
- Obnoxious lawn mowers presenting themselves at dawn
- The loud shouting matches between a soon-to-be divorced couple
It’s interesting to note how expansive this house feels on a typical suburban lot. If only all suburban homes were built with these principles, I think there’d be less desperate hunger for giant lots and homes. It’s not a matter of size, it’s how the space is used.
Thank you for sharing. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Love the Japanese influence without looking tacky and out of place.
I 100% agree, they used a lot of the Japanese design elements but blended them perfectly with the environment.
@TokyoLlama Love the work you have done on your home. Any ideas you might be taking into your project sir?
@@renegade4451 thanks, I’m not sure there’s anything specific but I always did want a house with a courtyard that surrounding rooms can open on to.
Chinese courtyards are better than Japanese ones, and Japan is suitable for small villas! China is wider and more elegant ~
From the beginning, the colours of the home and garden are harmonious- the autumnal leaves, the blackbutt wood and the Tasmanian oak, all work well off each other. This gives the home a calm effect, not allowing one particular element of the home to overwhelm anything else.
It brought me to tears seeing the birds eye shot of the house and seeing that no, it isn’t actually in the hills of rural Japan but in an actual neighborhood...with neighbors...and a ROAD. I actually almost shed a tear because other than that it’s PERFECT like actually a masterpiece of a home.
Ahh, a true urban oasis. A livable size, a flowing building. I live there in a heartbeat.
The feeling of serenity this house projects is the same feeling of being out in nature.
Every so often a house is truly perfect, this is such a house. I felt time slow down while just watching and trying to breathe. Sublime
Not only the home is beautifully constructed, the Japanese style gardens around the home are excellent too ! Love it !!
A beautiful home that still feels livable; art with practicality in mind. Fantastic work from everyone involved.
I’m so very impressed with this house & the way that the principles behind it impart meaning to the choices made. It must be so very special in any weather & any season!
Another winner. The simplicity is perfect. The wood used throughout is amazing.
I can literally see myself opening and closing these windows on a daily basis. Stunning Zen.
This home seems so functional yet its beauty is still understated, clean & pure. Amazing house!
Breathtaking. The garden and how it connects the entire house to the outdoors and sun is breathes life into the home.
Please, never stop doing these! So beautiful!
The classic beauty of the exterior, calming of the interior... So beautiful...
The most perfect design I’d ever seen. Stunning details hide under anaesthetic simplicity.
That sense of orientation, sheltered and secure, blending seamless expansion and breathing light transformation.. That!
one of the most breath taking home. Simple and peaceful.
I love the size the privacy, the light and coziness of the courtyard. For me personally I keep seeing courtyard houses and this is one of my favorite ones, but I'd like to see one that isn't so minimal. This gave me the idea of having one with a small vegtable garden in the middle possibly, and a small little pond. I'd like to see courtyard houses that are filled with items, not exactly messy but filled with items of expression and not having such a big open space when you already have such big open spaces connected to the outside. For me, it feels more balanced
So, so beautiful. Very impressive restoration. The owners must be pleased beyond my imagination. And the architecs very proud.
This is for sure one way of making the world a better place.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful homes. I would love to live there!
Watching this I felt like time stopped, and everything else around was moving slowly, quietly, meaningfully...
what makes simple designs like this so lovely is that you appreciate the clever intentional decisions made by the architect all the more because you can focus on them in a restful peaceful manner.
I wish we had material like timber locally.
I'm watching this again and again . This house makes me feel so peaceful .
This is the nicest residential design I've ever seen. It's literally my dream home.
I am in love with this house. The lines and gardens are everything
A truly stunning home. It oozes calm and serenity
This home is beautiful-calm and serene-perfection!
Using bamboo next to the fence to get the "green wall" effect is just the best.
A truly beautiful home that is warm yet elegant. Great lighting and approach. Kudos to the team.
Simply tranquil yet so grand, still!
Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!
The whole time through this video, my mouth just kept "goldfishing". So beautiful. SO SO beautiful.
I don’t have any new words to add. This space is absolutely beautiful.
It's so light and airy, a breathe of fresh air💖
Spectacular balance between timber, brick, concrete and nature 👏
This house is stunning. I've always dreamed of owning a classic American Craftsman style home from the exterior but internally have it traditional/minimalist Japanese style.
Beautiful calming house 🎋
Colour, material, space and engagement between in and outside is just outstanding! Beautiful project. The combination between east and western style is very well done! This is excatly my dream house that I will build for me soon.
To carve out that level of intimate exterior privacy on an urban lot is brilliant, ...and rare!
That is drop dead gorgeous!! SO STUNNING!! Holy moly - my hopes are if I could live in a place like this, in the near future, I would not be displeased!!
I really love the contrast in designs between the facade and the inside of the house.
❤ how peaceful I instantly felt. ❤ the shadows cast yet lots of light within
I love this home. It is so beautiful. Simple yet elegant. Perfect 💕
Out of all the modern japanese homes i’ e seen, this is the best one yet in my opinion ☺️
Beautiful, peaceful, masterpiece.
omg simple, beautiful, natural and intuitive
Simple minimalist design that feels warm and welcoming. Well done!
Superb in every way! Serenity in its simplicity !
I love a central courtyard and those screens are beautiful
Wow.. the courtyard is so well designed. Best one I have seen in a while.
as a huge fan of courtyards, I love this. I come from a Korean background and those types of wooden deck-veranda is very common in traditional Korean architecture too.
i couldn't ask for more. it's toooo perfect.
this is a beautiful space, absolutely breath-taking
Breathtakingly peaceful
Looks absolutely beautiful.
Really like the Japanese esthetic.
so peaceful & elegant
Beautiful. That view from the kitchen at 3:16 is something I dream of for the morning experience.
Beautiful, stylish yet settled. Love it. ❤
After a long day, this was SO therapeutic to watch!
the backyard is very quiet with a Japanese-style design, the mind is relaxed.
A butterfly grows from within me as I immerse myself through this design
dream way of life. looking forward that much!
Beautiful. This is something I would love to have also. I want a house built around a courtyard with inside and outside seamlessly merging. I love the concept of courtyards. Traditionally in my country houses were built around the courtyard to accommodate extended families. This way the families were together. The children would grow up together thus creating a strong bond. Everything would happen the courtyard. Thanks for the video.
So relaxing and calming, love it.
Wonderful job pulling me into the meditation. Light and love.
I need this house in my life!
Absolutely stunning!
So tranquil. Love this house
Wow, absolutely blown away by this beauty, simplicity and elegance! Congrats to the owner and developer of this
Oh, the ofuro is nice. Love the Japanese-style landscaping.
Really impressive, it actually makes me feel peace, "Any architectural work that does not express serenity is an error" - Luis Barragán
This house is magical 😍
So stunning! Love the style.
Utterly stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
what an art piece is that water body, even nature salutes to the artist
This is movingly beautiful.
I loved the integration of spaces
stunning and liveable at the same time....
My dream - made real!
Thank you!
I like how zen this video makes the house look :)
this house makes me feel all sorts of things. we're in the process of designing our house at the moment- we have nowhere near the budget that would allow for this level of house, but i'm hoping to draw some inspiration from this, especially the seamless integration between the inside and outside
Inspiring. CONGRATULATION for the project.
Gorgeous!❤️
Wow, this is stunning! 😍
The view of super clean lines transition to the garden is just extraordinary.
Excellent point!
Stunning!
stunning. My favorite house on the internet
I've been on and off designing the home I'd love to see myself in for the last 3 or so years, and so far, this is the closest anyone has come to what I hope to achieve. Absolutely stunning home!
How fun!! Good for you!! That must be such a fulfilling task. I'm inspired to do the same, yet I feel that's such a large project to take on. Yet in a way, I feel the process has begun. Blessings to you to see your dream come to fruition and provide you endless gifts!
Amazing place with a nice touch of culture and tradition. 🥰🌿
Love this home!
What a beauty!
BEAUTIFUL! I'd love to live in a house like this!
