Courtyard, also known as four-in-one, is a traditional courtyard-style building in China, its pattern is a courtyard built on four sides of the house, from the four sides of the courtyard into the middle, so the name of the courtyard.
The courtyard has been highly respected since ancient times. Since the birth of Shang Zhou, it has a history of more than 3,000 years.
Due to regional differences, the courtyards are scattered throughout the country in a diversified form, the most typical of which is the Beijing courtyard. However, the price of the Beijing courtyard is high, and more and more people choose to build a courtyard by themselves.
Today, the set of self-built courtyards introduced by Oriental Morning Light for everyone is a relatively difficult design of the aerial courtyard. The owners wanted to plan the courtyard on the roof of a modern five-storey building. It can be said that the owner's thinking is very avant-garde, the designer takes into account the many limitations of the original building structure, combined with the owner's love for the traditional architectural culture for ten minutes, so in the design of the bold layout, the use of traditional large wooden structure construction methods to complete the courtyard.
