Hollywood has long history of bungalow apartments
and hidden courtyards.The courtyard houses range from humble to sumptuous,
from simple dwellings arranged around a central court to more ornate buildings combining Spanish, Italian and North African
influences.
The courtyards not only create a sense
of privacy and provide an illusion of green space for their inhabitants, they also provide a viable option for housing in
dense urban areas.
