De Kort Van Schaik.

Two wide houses


A vacant lot - seperated from the street by a brick wall – forms the site for two new family houses. By rotating the conventional house-garden configuration, the project forms an alternative to the closed and formal facades of the typical neighbouring row houses. With the 90 degree rotation, the houses are both side-facing the shared garden. This allows for the living spaces of the house to be very open towards the garden, with the old wall providing sufficient privacy towards the street.
