A view toward the northeast shows fairly typical three-story row houses lined up along a very deep lot with gardens and entry along one edge. Each house is centered by a very tall clerestory that provides light and air to an atrium or inside garden. Both views show somewhat less architectural variety than was seen in the first project. Windows tend to be more of a size and shape. Terraces and gardens are smaller and less visible.
Parking is below grade on some lots, but is naturally ventilated.
The rules for solar envelopes meet less generous time and space constraints thus allowing more building volume here than for the first two projects. Shadowing is allowed at any time below 10 ft on residences and below 20 ft on commercial properties where they exist in the surround. But in these European designs, hallways systematically skip some floors allowing units to pass freely both over and under for access to light and air in opposite directions. Winter sunshine enters only the south-facing rooms, leaving those on the north relatively darker and colder. Since every dwelling unit is required to have a south exposure, the N-S building section becomes asymmetrical in its spatial organization.
