courtyardstyle
Courtyard style is a traditional architectural and design approach that originated in regions with hot climates, particularly in the Middle East, Mediterranean, and parts of Asia. The design centers around an open central courtyard, which serves as the focal point of a building or complex. This layout maximizes natural ventilation, light, and shade while providing a functional outdoor space for social and daily activities.
The courtyard is typically surrounded by enclosed or semi-enclosed rooms, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor elements
In residential settings, courtyard homes often include private gardens, seating areas, and sometimes even small pools
Modern interpretations of courtyard style have been adopted in contemporary architecture and landscaping, blending historical elements
