Description

The strength of this ensemble lies in the way the six identical terraced houses relate to the surrounding terrain. Shallowly embedded in the slope, the building volumes are set atop concrete bands running parallel to the contour lines that create terraced levels in the steep hillside plot. The resulting private gardens for each unit offer an attractive addition to the usual covered and sheltered rooftop terrace. Living on a single level revolving around the floor plane’s central core, which separates the day from the night area, offers the residents a feeling of spaciousness.
