breezeway
Roofed outdoor corridor
A breezeway is a covered passage, open on the sides, that connects two buildings or two parts of the same building.
The design allows air to flow through freely, providing shade and shelter while maintaining ventilation—hence the name.
Breezeways commonly link a house to a garage or connect wings of a school or office complex.
We stored the bikes in the breezeway between the house and garage.
