L-shaped house Two storeys East-west orientation

Abstract

The courtyard of this L-shaped structure is closed-off towards the exterior. As is typical for this type of house, entrance and access to the upper floor are located in the corner section of the L-shape. The south-facing wing of the building is two storeys high, whereas the west wing comprises only one storey. Towards the west, the courtyard is enclosed by a single-storey wall. The ground floor of the south wing encompasses a studio and workspaces. They can be exchanged with the living and dining areas in the west wing. Also, the bedrooms on the first floor could be swapped with the studios. Additional combinations can be realised if more staircases are added. A south-west orientation of the L-shape works best; dimensions of the house can be varied.
