2 Family houses on 1 corner lot

Assignment
Design two houses for families with 3 children on an empty corner lot

Location
Corner Lieremansstraat and Leiekaai, Brugse Poort, Ghent

Concept Sketch
In order to conserve as much open green space as possible, the building footprint was kept small and the two houses were realized in one building volume
At ground level, a common garage serves as a passage with perspective towards the common garden where the entrances of the houses are located
Two staircases were provided at the same location but in an opposite direction for both houses, which causes switches in orientation when circulating vertically
