Row Houses

Opening context:
House Cluster, Density Rings, Degrees of Publicness

Conflict

At densities of 15 to 30 houses per acre, row houses are essential. But typical row houses are dark inside, and stamped from an identical mould.

Resolution

For row houses, place houses along pedestrian paths that run right angles to local roads and parking lots, and give each house a long frontage and shallow depth.
