Austin custom home builders include courtyards in the design of their clients’ custom homes for a variety of reasons. Some clients use their courtyard as a tranquil retreat within their home. Some use courtyards in the front of their home for added privacy. Courtyards can be placed in public areas of the home for additional living areas, or in private areas of the home, connected to the master suite or guest casita.
Often a courtyard serves as an additional living space of the home and can be used to entertain guests. A large fireplace allows the space to be used comfortably in the winter. Often a courtyard offers privacy and seclusion from the rest of the home. Some of the courtyards we build have an outdoor shower, which is another feature commonly included in our recent custom home designs. Many of our courtyard designs also include a fountain, herb garden, or peaceful landscaping to make this area an oasis retreat to escape from the rest of the home.
