Program
Two small (120 qm) courtyard houses are designed to sit side by side, capable of repetition. They make a dramatic street wall with elevated roof terraces and a tower like main bedroom. In comparison to the traditional semi detached dwelling or terrace house, these houses have only one adjoining wall, two private lighted perimeter edges and cross ventilation in all habitable rooms.
What was of interest was the idea of a house organised by a courtyard, of the essential qualities of intimately related room and its garden. The rooms of the house wind around the court. The garden is the centre, still and open, the informal circulation through the house.
