courtyard structure


Explanation:
Older apartment buildings in Oslo and other large Norwegian towns were generally built round courtyards. Blocks of this kind are frequently referred to as "gårder". The term "courtyard structure" is commonly used to refer to structures of this kind, as is quickly confirmed by a search on the Internet, e.g.:
