While securing a high degree of privacy that cannot be seen from the outside, the courtyard = PATIO surrounded on all sides creates an open space that allows light to enter from the second floor to the basement floor. The openings are made of the same keystone plate as the exterior walls without using glass. In order to express the fact that the second floor is surrounded by a continuous wall, the columns are inserted into the beams as inverted beams.
