Courtyard House Floor Plans

One of the first known examples of courtyard house floor plans come from the Mesopotamian Empire, 2000 BC where architects used a large central patio to build a city around it (The City of Ur) . 

The large internal patio was made up of all the houses, on two levels, which were ventilated and illuminated through the central patio, since on the other side, what existed was the wall that protected the city. The dimensions of the City of Ur were 1,200 x 800 meters, that is, it had a large central courtyard.

All ancient cultures saw the need to create an open space inside the house, due to the need for natural lighting and ventilation, and this need was more reflected the larger the house was.

There are many examples that can still be seen, in Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and Japan, to name a few. In each region, the interior patio arose, due to the same needs and with its own characteristics.

Plans of Houses with Internal Patios

One possibility that allows having a house with an internal patio is to cool the air used for ventilation. If fresh air cannot be drawn in, at least it can be cooled by building a microclimate like an indoor patio and with the help of vegetation.

In areas with dry climates, cooling can be increased by evaporating water, placing fountains, or wet surfaces exposed to drafts. In very humid tropical regions, this variant is no longer as efficient.

House Plans with Interior Patio

In order for the interior patio to work in the most efficient way, it is convenient to have plants inside, and even a small fountain or pond.

Evaporation from plants and water lowers the patio’s temperature, creating a high-pressure area that can suck air upward. That is why the House Plans with Interior Patio are so important.

To complete the airflow, open windows or vents to allow fresh air from the yard inside the house and then outside.

In summer, the patio is a microclimate that regulates the hot air from outside, cooling and humidifying it before introducing it into a house with a patio.

In the patios and Arab gardens , water fountains have been placed in the interior patio, to refresh the environment. There are the examples of the Alhambra in Granada and the Generalife.

It should also be taken into account that the surface of the water reflects sound and light. On the other hand, the vegetation, in an interior patio, decreases the reflection of sound , which is advantageous for the interior of the house.
