Home design
• Interior unit layout is critical for livability.
• Shared entries, hallways, elevators, and stairs
require careful design for safety and sociability.
• Unit individualization occurs mostly at interior
unit entrance.
• Wide variety of outdoor spaces if rowhouses are
below, much narrower range if commercial.
• Distinct building uses require careful design
to separate or integrate pedestrian access,
parking, deliveries, and trash pick-up.
