What is an "atrium"?
An atrium is an open central space or courtyard that is typically found in the center of a building, often featuring a skylight to allow natural light to enter. This area is surrounded by walls or rooms, creating a sense of enclosure while still being open to the sky. Atriums were commonly used in ancient Roman architecture, serving as a focal point for homes and public buildings. They provide a welcoming atmosphere and often include gardens, fountains, or seating areas, making them an inviting space for gatherings and relaxation.
