The Hilo Library has a lovely indoor courtyard. Eventually, I'd like to do a set of plans for a similar building but scaled down. Unfortunately, by the time you get a good sized courtyard, the exterior of the building has rather a lot of square feet especially since they have a roofed over walkway around the courtyard. By making one side a garage, that would cut down on the interior space and then the building would be more affordable.
If your roof was only slightly sloped and the roof was made of full length tin roof panels with a wider overlap than usual you could probably get a leak free yet not overly expensive roof. Did you want to walk on this roof?
