Description

Although part of a row, these houses are designed as individual homes. Their layouts organize living on various levels: the lobby leads directly to the parapet, and the viewer looks into the living room set a half-level lower. The living room is attached to the garden room (library), another half-level down.

Located on the same level is a house workroom (with supply room). Kitchen and dining areas are located on the ground floor level; the inserted spiral staircase blocks them off without dividing them. A guest room is located at the entrance.

The bedrooms are on the upper floor – with oriels to the street, terraces toward the garden. The spacious landing offers a large study area. An unusual aspect: the double bath, accessible from two sides, with two washing units and bathtub in the middle.
