Would you say a > balcony is "inside"? > I guess this was too short, here's a more exhaustive take on the typical situations: 1. iconic building by le Corbu: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/a/af/Villa_Savoye_2015.jpg This is a typical example for a raised modernist building. the space where you can see chairs is IMHO clearly not "indoor", I would tend to accept it is part of the building (because it is "created"/delimited by the building and intended as usuable space), but you could also argue it is part of the garden, the architect even emphasizes this by using the same pavement as for the driveway (at least it looks like this on the picture). These are typically cases where the building is raised above the ground in order to make use of a covered outdoor space, e.g. to use it as part of the garden, or to park a car, or as common space for the residents. 2. reconstruction of prehistoric raised buildings inside the Lake of Constance: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Pfahlbaumuseum_Unteruhldingen_Steinzeith%C3%A4user_Riedschachen_2010_04_10.jpg I would tend to count the outdoor space below the "house" as not being part of the building (conceptually, the building is standing on legs, and while the legs are part of it, the area where they stand could be considered as not part of it). The area not being usable/accessible contributes to this judgement. There are similar examples all over the world, e.g. here: http://bilder.net/bild-h%c3%bctte-urwald-orinoco-2335.jpg or here http://www.amliebstenreisen.at/bilder/2015/02/junglebay-2-660x330.jpg These are generally cases where the building is raised above a "hostile" environment, e.g. to protect it from water, wild animals, enemies, or to create a level surface in an inclined surrounding. Typically the space below is not used in these cases. I would not consider the (unmodified / unaltered) ground below the building to be part of the building. In all cases, I would not consider these indoor spaces, because they can not be heated or cooled, while you may be protected from the sun and precipitation you will still feel more outside than inside, typically. I acknowledge there are many different situations and you will have to assess these individually, there will surely be a lot of edge cases. How you see them may also depend on the climate in the area in general, e.g. there are also lots of houses that are neither cooled nor heated, and some may have openings that cannot be closed rather than windows.
