Interior courtyards filled with indoor trees and greenery create a tranquil, peaceful atmosphere.

Interior courtyards are mostly found in homes in warmer climates, where they help create a connection to the outdoors while bringing more light and air inside.

Adding trees and green plants to the courtyards make for decorative spaces that also function as sheltered miniature gardens.

As well as being decorative, the courtyard helps with the heating and cooling of the house by increasing passive solar heating in the winter and stimulating passive cooling and natural ventilation in the summer.
