Comment: << review queue entry 60071 - submitted by 'richwarm' >>
1) I have submitted separately:
三合院 /residence consisting of structures surrounding a courtyard on three sides/

A 四合院 is a different kind of courtyard house.
That's why I suggest adding "with a fully enclosed courtyard".

2) Examples for 合院:
後來老舊的合院拆了,
Later the old home would be torn down,

並以昔日台灣的合院為例,乃是身處沒有電力、空調的時空,
In the past, when there was no electricity or air-conditioning, courtyard houses were cool in summer and warm in winter, because they were built facing south,

合院裡的院埕,看似灰色、模糊的無用地帶,
The central courtyard may seem useless

3) Wp ~ 合院可以指:
1. 四合院
2. 三合院
Diff:

+ 合院 合院 [he2 yuan4] /courtyard house/
