"Text description provided by the architects. The house is located on a narrow, deep plot between party walls, only 3.6 meters wide. Due to its depth, a central courtyard and a double-height space open up to bring natural light into the ground floor. Because of spatial constraints, the staircase is placed longitudinally in the center, paired with the courtyard. It connects levels at mid-height directly from the landings, avoiding corridors."
"Due to its depth, a central courtyard and a double-height space open up to bring natural light into the ground floor. Because of spatial constraints, the staircase is placed longitudinally in the center, paired with the courtyard. It connects levels at mid-height directly from the landings, avoiding corridors. As a result, the ground floor features two different interior heights: a regular height on the street side and a one-and-a-half-level height opening onto the garden at the rear."
The house occupies a narrow, deep plot between party walls, only 3.6 meters wide. A central courtyard and a double-height space bring natural light deep into the ground floor. The staircase is positioned longitudinally in the center, paired with the courtyard, to maximize spatial efficiency. The stair connects levels at mid-height directly from the landings, eliminating the need for corridors. The configuration produces two distinct interior heights on the ground floor: a regular height toward the street and a one-and-a-half-level height opening onto the garden at the rear, enhancing spatial variation and light penetration.
