Our Courtyard Homes Are Perfect For Enjoying Florida’s Cooler Weather

Living in Florida means you get to enjoy the best of outdoor living in a beautiful Viera Builders’ courtyard home! When the weather gets cooler, you can head outside and enjoy lounging in front of your firepit or fireplace, cook a gourmet meal in your summer kitchen, or stretch out on your comfy couch to watch your favorite sports team.

Our courtyard homes feature a central open space that becomes the focal point of the home. These areas become a private outdoor oasis where you, your family, and friends can gather for al fresco dining, coffees in the morning, or neighborhood happy hours. Here are a few more reasons why our courtyard plans should be a “must-see” in your home search:

Natural Ventilation: Courtyard homes are strategically designed to encourage natural airflow. The central open space allows the cool breezes we get in the early Spring, Fall, and Winter months to circulate through the home, reducing the dependence on air conditioning. This not only contributes to energy efficiency but also ensures a constant flow of fresh air, creating a pleasant and healthy living environment.

Shaded Retreats: Just because the weather is cooler doesn’t mean the sun isn’t shining bright. The careful placement of courtyards provides shaded areas throughout the day, offering homeowners a way to enjoy the Florida sun without overexposure. We pay meticulous attention to the orientation of courtyards, ensuring optimal shading and comfort.

Privacy and Serenity: Courtyard homes offer a unique blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces while maintaining a sense of privacy. The enclosed central space becomes a serene escape from the outside world, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of nature without compromising on comfort.

Energy Efficiency: By leveraging the benefits of natural ventilation and shading, courtyard homes inherently promote energy efficiency. Reduced reliance on air conditioning not only lowers utility costs for homeowners but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly living experience.

Graceful and Flexible: We have two-story floor plans with a wide range of square footage sure to meet your needs. Each floor plan is unique, providing flex options such as bonus rooms, spacious lanais with summer kitchens, and covered courtyards perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Viera Builders has earned a stellar reputation for our ability to integrate great design and top-notch construction with the natural ease of living in Florida’s abundant sunshine during the best times of year - Fall, Winter, and Spring. Through thoughtful design, our homes provide a harmonious blend of style, functionality, and comfortable living.
