These four contemporary residential projects usher their residents outside with strategic open floor plans, attractive exterior spaces and plenty of greenery.

Bringing the outside in isn't just one of the most prominent interior trends of the last century. For these newly opened hospitality projects, it's a way to root themselves in their local surroundings and offer guests a truly authentic stay.

By employing glass doors, skylights and frameless windows, these four projects dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces and allow the visual beauty of their courtyards to radiate throughout the home.
