Courtyard Community Architecture

Designs for building a smart and sustainable future.

We draw upon the successful patterns of historical courtyard cities and translate them into modern communities.

Existing Infrastructure

Detached houses do not accommodate mixed use, commercial space and work/live neighborhoods.
Wood frame construction: labor intensive and poorly insulated
Materials are imported, increasing carbon footprint and decreasing local job opportunity

Courtyard communities

Shared courtyard walls create privacy while promoting community
Private indoor/outdoor living is maximized
Landscaping is planned and woven into the architectural fabric
Blocks are arranged in a simple grid to generate a greater community context

Grounded Infrastructure Solutions' technologies support David Cagle's Courtyard Community designs. They present environmentally friendly construction for an innovative and sustainable future.
