Description
Car-free housing development near Copenhagen with row houses and garden courtyard houses: the latter are single-story houses on a cruciform plan. Groups of four houses each form a common garden court, accessed by a pedestrian path.
Entrance, kitchen, and play area overlook this path, while all bedrooms and the long living room overlook the garden. The central living room with linear kitchen and separable (guest-)room serves as a distribution zone and divides the individual rooms with a separate hallway and bathroom. The occupants are free to design the courtyards to their liking, separating them with walls or sharing them for common use.
