The initial design consisted of 10 courtyard houses on a flat piece of ground that was smaller and narrower. The urbanistical problem to be resolved by the typology and layout of the houses was that of how to get two front sides while the houses can only be reached by car from one side. The answer was the design of a set of narrow courtyard houses that could be lined up next to each other back to front and front to back. Several years later the urbanist transplanted this idea to a larger slightly sloping site. The 16 houses now built therefore lack a little the absolute privacy of a true courtyard house, but they still have the simplicity of the freely fl owing space between inside and outside, living area and garden.
