The town of Prospect, Colorado, approaches community living with a fresh, modern perspective.

Courtyard Homes, a complex of three unique homes within Prospect, combines modern, urban architecture within a unique setting that encourages homeowners to interact with their surrounding community and the natural environment—and allows for refuge from the urban context in private, unshared areas.

The courtyard as a spatial planning tool allows for relaxation in sun and shade, provides shelter from winds, offers small urban gardens and enjoyment of outdoor living in an urban context.
