House with courtyard?

The traditional courtyard (patio) is the heart of this project. The courtyard is formed by three blocks and granite rock. The rain and wind-beaten granite rock becomes part of the house and the fourth façade of the project, enclosing the patio. The house interacts with the rock, taking in its substance. Concrete monolithic volumes shape the exterior of the house. The interior spaces form a light and transparent volume of space. The façade of the house features wooden sunscreens and inserts as a tribute to the site's centuries-old pine trees.
