Taken from my landscape precedent designed to reduce sound from airports, this perspective reinvents the typical terraced housing streets. The form of the buildings creates spaces adaptable for families and single occupants, establishing a co housing relationship.
PERSPECTIVE
This plan was an experiment of mass housing within the site. As high rise buildings were not appreciated in Stretford, I used a format similar to terraced housing to allow space for 32 houses, whilst still gaining space for landscaping within the negative.

- No distinguishable features between public and private
T
