What is the difference between the design of a private villa and the design of a courtyard house?

The difference between these two types of buildings is still very big. Difference:

The courtyard of a courtyard is on the inside, and the courtyard of a villa is on the outside.

Siheyuan is a single-story bungalow, and villa is a multi-story building.

A villa is a separate property, a residence used to enjoy life apart from the home. It is a second residence rather than the first residence; while a courtyard house is an ordinary residence where ancestors have lived for generations.

The villa is three-dimensional, that is, the living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, and study are stacked together. The courtyard house is flat, with the living rooms arranged on different planes.

Villas are very convenient, but courtyards pay attention to traditional Feng Shui.

The picture above shows a Chinese-style villa and the picture below shows the structure of a courtyard:

Villa:

The dictionary explains villa like this:? Villa refers to a place in a scenic area or A residential retreat built in a suburb.

The new definition recently issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources is: a single-family house with two to three floors is called a villa. Siheyuan:

Siheyuan, also known as Siheyuan, is a traditional courtyard-style building in China. Its layout is a courtyard with houses built on four sides, and the courtyard is enclosed in the middle from all four sides, hence the name Siheyuan.

Siheyuan is a three-heyuan house with a gatehouse in front to close it off. If it is in the shape of "口", it is called a first-entry courtyard; if it is in the shape of "日", it is called a second-entry courtyard; if it is in the shape of "mu", it is called a third-entry courtyard. Generally speaking, in a large house, the first entrance is the gatehouse, the second entrance is the hall, and the third or rear entrance is the private room or boudoir, which is the activity space for women or their family members. Most people are not allowed to enter at will. No wonder the ancients said this in poetry : "How deep is the courtyard?" The deeper the courtyard, the less accessible it is.
