Well-being, community and self-sufficency were the driving factors in this compact housing project. The brief called for the repetition of identical housing units of 5mx10m, arranged in a row on a narrow site. I designed a row of street facing “generous greenhouses”: units with a double-layered facade space allowing passive heating and gardening. Contextually, the route from one end of the site to the other is important as it leads from a school and residential area toward the town centre. I preserved it by pushing houses to one side. Slanting allows for staggered, transitional spaces from private to public. Spaces inside are arranged according to their degree of privacy.
