terraced courtyard

Working in collaboration with a regional housebuilder our terraced courtyard proposal is a research project investigating a new fused housing typology that could be applicable to the London housing market.

​

Predicated on the fact that vast numbers of potential housing sites across the capital are often unviable due to overlooking / ROL / party wall matters, alongside an increasing requirement to improve density ratios, the terraced courtyard proposal looks to tackle these issues in a simple, elegant and economical manner.

Whilst eliminating overlooking issues, an aspect commonly associated with high density housing, the terraced courtyard research is also focusing on increasing natural light and natural cross-ventilation alongside investigating the economics associated with nett/gross plot sizes in order to ensure the design proposals are not only regulation compliant and beautifully designed but also deliverable.
