In winter with the cold and the rain, or in the heat of summer, home-dwellers would have to go outside, as they have to cross the uncovered patio to access the kitchen and bathroom, feeling the wind or the rain on your face or being able to gaze out at toward the sky. The open patio is an “oasis” within the hustle and bustle of the city; a place in touch with nature within the house, which allows the entry of light, air, rain, cold or heat, to watch the clouds go by or gaze at the sun; a window which allows you to cohabit with nature.
