indoor-outdoor living
Boundaryless domestic spaces
Indoor-outdoor living is a design philosophy that blurs the boundary between interior spaces and the outdoors, typically through features like large sliding glass doors, covered patios, or rooms that open directly onto gardens or pools.
The concept emphasizes flow between inside and outside: The house was built for indoor-outdoor living, with the kitchen opening onto a courtyard.
Popular in warm climates and mid-century modern architecture.
