This is a traditional Chinese structure of
shiheyuan. Shi is four, and
he is combined. So it's four sides of buildings with each family member occupying a different wing, and they meet and have activities in the center courtyard. This is a 3-layered
shiheyuan.

English label done by me.
As they get fancies, more sections, I think of it as more rectangles, are being added to the structure. For example, this is a 5-section
shiheyuan.
