The assignment was to design a block of 12 row houses, where a single house design is repeated on a site next to a canal in Copenhagen, Denmark. The maximum size of each home was set at 8 meters wide, 10 meters deep, and 10 meters high, with a 4 meter yard in front and back.  I decided to explore the idea of a light well, which would allow for an open ground floor plan. The ground floor combined the kitchen, dining room, living room, and a small bathroom. A staircase provides vertical circulation to the office, bedrooms, and roof terrace while keeping a visual and audible connection to the ground floor. Staggering the buildings increased the privacy of the roof terraces for each house, compared to having them all in a straight line. It also created areas for a public park space in the front, and a community garden in the back.
