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.
