The conceptual idea for the Rao Residence is to create a private courtyard by careful positioning of the program elements of the building. The courtyard, or outdoor room, provides a place of respite and tranquility that can used for a variety of activities by any size group.
The courtyard also establishes a private area of inner focus for all the program spaces.
