					## project Description

					*Courtyard by the Coast* is envisioned as a tranquil residence shaped by its coastal context, where architecture responds to climate, light, and the rhythm of everyday living. Anchored around a central courtyard, the home draws in natural light and sea breeze, creating a cool, shaded microclimate within. The planning blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors, allowing spaces to flow seamlessly while maintaining privacy and comfort. Material choices and spatial proportions are guided by the coastal environment—resilient, breathable, and timeless—resulting in a home that feels both grounded and open, offering a calm retreat by the sea.
