A single-storey courtyard house built around an old olive and a still pool
Olive Court is a closed rectangle with a courtyard cut out of the middle. From the lane it reads as a long sand-rendered wall with a terracotta portal; inside, everything faces in, onto an arcade, a still pool and an olive that was already old when the terraces were planted.
The planning here permits one storey, and the architect took that as a gift rather than a constraint. The living room runs the full northern side and opens to the valley through a deep, columned reveal; the kitchen and dining room take the eastern wing with a glazed slot facing the morning; the bedrooms sit on the west, behind a brise-soleil that keeps the afternoon out.
The house is cooled almost entirely by its own plan. Cross-ventilation between the courtyard and the outer elevations does most of the work, and the comfort cooling is rarely needed before August.
