This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This family home in Nagoya, Japan, was designed to sprawl across a large site, around a central courtyard garden.
The glazed internal walls create a connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, with shaded and sheltered areas allowing the courtyard to be enjoyed year-round.
