the interior program is contained within each independent unit. a central courtyard, marked by a tree and small pool in the direct center, acts as a starting point for the plan. the first floor, containing living, dining, and kitchen are located around the inner atrium. private areas, are likewise distributed on the second floor.

concrete, cantilevered parking area 

in order to create a sense of openness towards the street and city, ‘HDJ89’ has no garage door. instead, a 14 meter cantilevered concrete slab provides protection from the sun and elements. upon entrance, a large part of the dwelling can be immediately seen; emphasizing its spacious qualities.
