Multi-family residence, on a corner plot, provides 2 separate entrances; one for the parents and another for the children’s apartments above. A corner shared stair leads to the common “diwniya” giving onto a sunken outdoor garden. Indoor living areas are open to outdoor living on multiple levels; sunken courtyards, side & front gardens, and a roof garden all vertically connected with the sectional shear of terraces on multiple levels.
The ground and first floors are the parents’ quarters. The second floor is divided among the two kids, while shared services and amenities are in the basement and on the roof. Maximizing the built-up areas above freed much of the ground floor garden. This pushed to cantilever the upper volume, serving as a shading canopy for the front garden underneath. The corner plot, with the centrally carved volume, maximizes light penetration to the interior spaces.
