Courtyard HousingCourtyard Housing is a distinct medium
density multi-family housing typology centered around
a shared outdoor open space or garden and surrounded
by one or two stories of apartment units typically
only accessed by courtyard from the street (and
not by an interior corridor). The Courtyard Housing
typology developed in the Los Angeles area in the
1920s by several small scale developers in response
to the region's climate and housing needs and which
typically adopted a Mediterranean or Spanish Colonial
architectural style. The courtyards would be quiet
and shaded outdoor spaces that served as a transition
between the street and the individual apartment
units and were primarily aesthetic in nature and
non-recreational space. In the years following,
the typology was implemented across the United States
until around the time of World War II when the automobile
became more dominant to daily life and had more
of an impact on the built environment when then-newer
housing typologies were developed in response such
as the dingbat. (Source: Wikipedia.org)
