Description
Artificial residential hill, symmetrically oriented toward east and west. The depth of the two lower floors allows apartments only in one point of the compass. Through living spaces on third and fourth floors.
On the ground floor, the depth of the house is used by a central storage-room zone that runs all the way through. Within the fixed axial intervals and installation cores is a variety of apartments, with L-, U-, and T-shaped floor plans. This transforms the terraces (of different sizes) into inner courts enclosed on three sides. Clear zoning of living and sleeping areas. Large terrace in front of living room, often small ones in front of sleeping area. The terraces become patios on the ground floor.
