To regulate temperature and humidity throughout, ‘these courtyards and the horizontal strip ventilators opening to the exteriors in each room create a microclimate inside the house that helps keep it cool during the hottest months’, explain architects LIJO.RENY. Vegetation density varies from the more private courtyard that is lush with greenery to more sparsely planted areas between the living, dining, and study spaces. Making use of glass’ natural transparency, this either creates a soothing and shielding effect by bringing a wall of greenery indoors or invites outdoor exploration and movement.
