courtyard's
Building's central space's
The possessive form of courtyard, an open space enclosed by walls or buildings, typically found within a larger architectural complex.
Courtyards have historically served as gathering places, gardens, or light wells in dense urban construction.
The courtyard's fountain provided a peaceful backdrop for the reception.
We admired the courtyard's Mediterranean tilework.
