Zumthor Style Concrete Courtyard House

A single-family house in the manner of Peter Zumthor: one monolithic in-situ exposed concrete volume, 11.5 × 11.5 m in outline, with a 5.0 × 5.0 m courtyard subtracted through its centre. Two above-ground storeys at 3000 mm floor-to-floor hold about 200 m² between them, over a partial basement of about 70 m² for service, storage and a utility/spa room.
