Workshop APD

The Courtyard House

Interiors Houses USA 2022-10-13

Courtyard House is the latest addition to Workshop APD. A collection of eight cedar-encrusted buildings, the quadrangle houses are set on flat terrain in a verdant setting designed to pay homage to New England's heritage and human spirit.

The owners were a special couple who wanted to build a family resort with guest rooms in a quiet and idyllic location. This meant that the studio needed to find them a site that offered both architectural space and isolation from the hustle and bustle of the city.

In response to the client's high requirements, Workshop APD designed a series of coherent structures for the house, using Nantucket heritage on the outside and modern design language on the inside. The studio made this family resort refreshing by creating a building surrounded by a beautiful garden, swimming pool, facing the sky and focusing inward.

As one passes a small gatehouse, one can see the complex from a certain Angle, as its spires stand out from the greenery. Each of the eight buildings opens to a central courtyard with a spacious swimming pool. In each building, the designers have crafted an interior that fits the concept of a "smart beach house" while using soft natural hues and layers of luxurious materials.

Their work always has a modern point of view, whether using more modern materials or more traditional materials. While the house is very durable and functional and can cater for all the things its occupants want to do on the island, it also has a mixed feel. The balance between hard and soft elements ultimately makes the house comfortable and livable.

As one moves through the first pavilion, a series of "thorns" connect the main living area with the outbuildings, which include the master suite, the couple's children's bedroom, a two-bedroom guest cottage, a family cottage, a study, a home office and a garage.

To add a sense of intimacy and elegance to the space, Workshop APD also included elements that referenced the ocean without being too obtruding, including coast blue stone with white ripples in the dressing room and custom furniture with similar earth tones paired with high-contrast black and gray. An art installation uses geometric cuts of wallpaper in the same style, adding visual impact to the children's room in a variety of water tones, while another upper and lower bunk house supports a bold sapphire feature wall.
