A very common pattern in the USA is an interior courtyard at the pedestal level: meaning above the parking garage. There's typically one or more underground levels. The ground floor is parking perhaps with shallow depth retail stores. There are zero or more additional parking levels. Then a central courtyard surrounded by apartments. The courtyard is open to the sky.
