Alexandria Terrace Houses

Conceived as a modern interpretation of the terrace typology, appropriate for contemporary urban lifestyles. These terraces have a strong contemporary form articulated by timber screens. These add rhythm and pattern to the façade and provide internal privacy and sun control.
A three storey void captures light from the sun drenched second floor filtering it into the first floor bathrooms. The void acts as a skylight above the ground floor kitchen providing natural light and ventilation. This overcomes the age old problem of terrace living - every room in the terrace has access to natural light.
