If you are looking for a lovely blend of traditional and contemporary architecture, Courtyard housing presents an amalgam of design nuances that are both functional and delightful. Courtyard housing is an architectural style that features a common outdoor space or garden that is surrounded by one or two stories of apartment units. To enter the courtyard, one must go through the building complex. And voila! The sky opens!
Courtyard Housing through the pages of history
Courtyard housing has its origins thousands of years ago in ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, China, Egypt and Greece. The Jordan Valley of 6400-6000 BC also recorded this architectural type.
In India, it emerged in the Indus Valley Civilization age, and lives on even today.
In Indian Architecture, the courtyard brings nature home
A courtyard is recognized as a partially covered or fully open roof space without walls. It allows direct sunlight to filter. It is generally in the middle of the house. This type of architecture can be seen in different parts of India.
In villages, this architectural style is meant for socializing for members of a family. It’s not uncommon for a courtyard to be used for rainwater harvesting, cooking, and sleeping, among other things.
Typically, a courtyard has an open rooftop, giving the impression of outdoor space. This architectural design has evolved over time into different forms depending on the people’s needs. The outdoor is now integrated into the indoors, ushering in a unique way of life.
Courtyard Housing conquers hearts and hearths.
In contemporary architecture, courtyard housing is a type of urban development that provides outdoor spaces in thickly populated areas. The elements of courtyard design are integrated into sustainable design strategies to increase access to daylight, natural ventilation, and conservation of energy.
Apart from this, the basic concept of courtyard housing stays consistent, while cultural and regional variations can be seen. Occasionally, you may see variations in courtyard designs based on factors such as building materials, climate, individual preferences, and social customs.
Overall, the architectural evolution of this type of housing is a blend of cultural values, historical traditions and changing societal needs.
True, there are modern advancements in architecture, but courtyard housing continues to connect people with Nature. It also fosters a community feeling within its living spaces.
The evolution of Courtyard Housing continues.
Courtyard housing has evolved over the centuries in India. You can see this architecture in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Rajasthan and in Kerala, where it is referred to as Nalukettu.
