Designed for that narrow site with poor solar access, this residence brings dappled northern light into the centre of the home through a centrally located courtyard and an elevated roof top garden.  A simple yet ordered layout, with services located to the west of the central circulation space and living to the east, reduces overall construction costs and creates a simplicity or order.
