In nafrica traditional homes have a central courtyard or a garden that connects all rooms of the house together. It's called a houch, (حوش).
There is no word for it in English though. Is this not a thing anywhere outside of, that most powerful region ever inhabited by man, nafrica?
Also while we're at it you should go ahead and admit nobody knows anything about internal decor and architecture better than nafris.

>>221671879
>There is no word for it in English though
because english is a broken corrupted language. it doesn't have a word for a lot of normal things.
the name for this type of area in german is “hof”. This is cognate to the English word “hovel”. But in modern standard english, people would call these types of areas “yard” ”court” or “courtyard” just to be redundant.

Yes it is. It's just an african/arabic courtyard.

that's an atrium, you morons
did you really think the Tunisians, a people who eat soup off the dirt floor on which they are sitting with their bare fingers, invented the atrium?

Houches are falling out of style, they're a traditional thing but most homes built nowadays are à la yuropeon concrete block style modern architecture of le corbusier.

Literally all of our historic cities have traditional houses with a central courtyard.

Roman courtyard, or "atrium" if you want to be pretentious.

Sitting on the floor is the healthiest thing you can do to your back. We are not evolved to sit on chairs on a 90° angle. None of those Japanese people that live to age 245 have chairs at home.

It's a fact. Chairs kill your back. Tables should not be higher than half a knee length.

Please explain for the class how courtyard is not the perfect word to describe "outdoor space enclosed by the surrounding building". And how this very versatile definition is not as good as the German word "spacenoutsidünbuildinsurroundenschwein"
I'll wait.

Why do you care so much where someone chooses to sit? In nafrica we have slippers that are for walking inside the house only and we immediately change into those the moment we're home. So not only is our architecture better than yours but we're a shoes off in the house culture. PLUS we have bidets!
>>
>>221672247
Bro, it's literally the other way around. The German word for it is just „Hof”. But the English cognate “hovel” refers to some shithole because the Normans fucking hate you and the English language is basically like having a nigger lover tatto

>>221672355
Because it's not a fucking courtyard it's a houch!!! The french took that word as a loanword from us to specifically refer to it! Why can't you see that it's a unique thing??

>>221671879
That looks so aesthetic

Homes with central courtyards are very common in traditional Spanish, colonial Spanish and Latin American architecture.

The nafri aesthetic is drippy, check it out when you've got a minute. I'm sure you'll love it.

>>221672578
beauitful hooves you got there
wish my house had one
but we just have what the Germans call inversehoofenöbergruppenführer (lit. inverse courtyard, where the courtyard surrounds the house). I call it a "yard" in my language but I don't want to get in big trubs :(
>>
If I ask for a house with a hof or hooves when me and my fiance go house hunting, the realtor will understand exactly what I mean, right?
>>
>>221672688
Yeah because you are a low effort people. That's why you have the libshit nuclear family instead of the traditional authoritarian family.
>>
>>221672739
Out of respect for OP and his thread I will ask that you please keep your conversation limited to discussing hofs, hooves, and inversehoofenöbergruppenführers.

Your culture is a cheap plastic hunk of nonsense made in a slop factory in china engineered by the brightest and sharpest Chinese minds to be as lousy and sloppy as possible to appeal to the american pattern.
No wonder you're desensitized to beauty since all you know is mumble rap, Mcdick's burgers that are 70% sawdust and zyklon B by volume, and morbidly obese black women twerking on national TV while the national anthem plays in the background.
But even a mutt as uncouth, unrefined, uncultured, unsophisticated as you instinctively feels envy when he looks at actual genuine culture.

Instead of being a sore loser why don't you develop your very own culture so you won't feel left out next time?
It's gonna take you thousands of years but late is better than never, baby.

It doesn't. It's sunny 24/7 all year round in Tunisia.

No matter what you call it, it's the best design for detached houses. Plus, when the front walls are close to the street and the rest is tucked away at the back of the yard. The front lawn is the worst idea

Who introduce that nice thing to you? If you're gonna be so ungrateful at least have the balls to tear down all the architectural monuments you've inherited from us and abandon the building techniques we taught you.
And since you hate us so much the Spanish guitar evolved from the nafri oud so better throw your guitars in the fire too.

You just hide things under the roof until it stops. It would be easy to install a rainwater collection system in a house too

Wish more coffees and hotels and new houses used the aesthetics of all these images, instead we get ugly gray modern square villas that all loom sterile and identic no matter the pricing range.
But with traps for gypsy thieves and balkan robbers.
