Concrete home with lightwell

This house really feels open and let’s light through! However it is interesting to note that views from the windows all lead to a central court yard/ light well. Is it better to be looking out at your neighbors house or is it better to look at a light well? There is conflict in a home to make you feel so free, but yet feel restricted and closed off from the world. Trapped a little? Or happy in architectural delight!
