So, what is the definition of what makes a Patio Home a Patio Home? The way it sounds, a Patio Home should probably be reeeaaaal small. And it will probably have a theme or atmosphere surrounding a patio or courtyard. Since most other home or garden design styles create certain images in our mind when their name is mentioned, by definition, that’s right. Southwest design, Tropical, Mediterranean, Cottage gardens, and many others are all design styles that have a certain defined atmosphere regardless of size or location. So, a Patio Home will, of course, have a theme surrounding a patio. Right?
My own in a nutshell definition of what a patio home is might go something like – “A smaller home in a somewhat shared environment. More or less a one story condo attached to other homes by at least one shared wall and individual backyards with, of course, a patio.
Wikipedia has a definition for everything so why not see what they have to say about patio homes.
For a large group of people, space and financial elements force a trend of everyday living to be smaller, more compact, and easier to take care of where living spaces need to comply and transform while still remaining comfortable with a sense of style.
