A courtyard needs more than an opening to the sky
A courtyard is a space to occupy and maintain, as well as an opening in the plan.

The design question
A courtyard can organise rooms around an outdoor centre, but its success depends on proportion, exposure and maintenance. A small shaft and a generous planted court behave differently. Neither should be described as an automatic source of comfort.

What to consider
Ask how rainwater leaves, who cleans the surfaces and what happens to adjacent rooms when doors are closed. Review privacy between facing windows and consider whether plants will receive the light and care they need.

Your next step
Compare the courtyard option with a simpler layout using shaded balconies or perimeter openings. The comparison should include usable floor area, structural implications and access for repairs. Choose the court because it improves daily life on this site, supported by the team’s environmental assessment.
