A late 19th-century artist's reimagining of an atrium in a Pompeian domus Illustration of the atrium in the building of the baths in the Roman villa of "Els Munts", close to Tarraco. In a domus, a large house in ancient Roman architecture, the atrium was the open central court with enclosed rooms on all sides.
In earlier and more modest homes, the atrium was the common room used for most household activities; in richer homes, it became mainly a reception room, with private life moving deeper into the (larger) house. The atrium was generally the most elaborate room, with the finest finishings, wall paintings, and furnishings.

Key takeaways. Listing a house for sale late in the week, in particular on a Thursday, can potentially result in a faster sale and higher price.
Roman atrium houses were built side by side along the street. They were one-storey homes without windows that took in light from the entrance and from the central atrium. The hearth, which used to inhabit the centre of the home, was relocated, and the Roman atrium most often contained a central pool used to collect rainwater, called an impluvium.
The share of languishing listings has been accelerating thanks to a bump in more houses being offered for sale at the same time that demand has waned in the face of stubbornly high mortgage rates.
The building badly needed it: The atrium roof had been covered over, making the interior dark; the building leaked and had suffered extensive water damage; there was mold throughout the building; the tower was filled with five to six meters of pigeon droppings, and the heating system often broke down.
