A room beneath the sky can change the way a whole house works.
At Cedar Court, the front door opens onto a small garden before it opens onto a room. That brief pause changes the pace of arrival. The courtyard gives the home a center that is open to the sky and enclosed from the street.
Stand at each edge during a viewing. Look for a sheltered place to sit, a route for rainwater and windows that invite a cross breeze. A courtyard earns its space when it works on an ordinary afternoon as well as it does in a photograph.
