The double courtyard plan gives the library and study oversight of the entry court while the primary living and sleeping spaces have direct access to the rear court and garden. Rain-screen panels, radiant floors, solar-heated water, storm and gray water retention, and non-toxic materials throughout provide ecological amenities with an economy of means.
