Courtyard House, Las Vegas, NV

Built around a private courtyard, this house is reminiscent of ancient classical homes.  All major rooms open onto this protected space where outdoor activities are centered around the pool. The same parti can be found in places like Pompei, Ephesus, and throughout the Mediterranean world. It is well-suited to the hot, desert climate of Las Vegas.
