Terraced Homes — Efficient & Stylish

For this project, I worked with the standard dimensions of Heijmans, which made it possible to redesign the terraced houses in a smart, efficient, and realistic way. Working within these fixed dimensions helped ensure that the homes can be easily reproduced, making the design suitable for large-scale development. At the same time, the focus remained on creating housing that feels modern, high-quality, and carefully considered rather than purely functional. By using clear structural principles, consistent proportions, and a well-organized layout, the project achieves a strong balance between efficiency and architectural quality.

— Reflection

Designing with limits taught me what makes terraced housing successful: a combination of recognizability, efficiency, and smart repetition. Small variations in the façades, materials, and window arrangements can transform a simple row of houses into a visually interesting and modern residential building.
