How can plan syntax shape diverse living scenarios? These townhouses are set in an urban context and are divided into three parts. First, the mass: a thick core separated by a concrete wall, housing private spaces like bedrooms, bathrooms, and storage. The townhouse is connected by two axes: an uninterrupted horizontal and a vertical one. The second part is lighter, featuring circulation spaces with an open atrium, a hanging staircase, and a rooftop bridge. The final part contains the public spaces—kitchen and dining on the ground floor, with a suspended mezzanine above. This layout creates a sequence from heavy to light, private to open, allowing for various living arrangements, from families to co-living, or even two apartments sharing communal spaces.
