Major rooms have three exposures and each house obtains a well screened garden court, each bedroom a secluded balcony. The houses open to their gardens on the south, but windows on street and entrance sides are kept high for privacy. The building is as consequent in structure and form as it is in plan. Glass is set directly between the posts, forming continuous bands almost flush with the smooth walls.
Emphasis is on the enclosed volume rather than on the walls which define it.
