Courtyard
Like the idea of the covered walkway, as we would want to ensure the courtyard has some covered area where you can still be out there, even if it is raining. Overall, just think of the idea of having a cigar outside... While at it, we should ensure the courtyard can display some enamel art (which requires weatherproofing)--if there are walled areas instead of glass all of the way around.
Interesting angles and showing courtyard doesn't need to be square/rectangular.
