This project is able to create both public and private spaces for each family member. Each unit creates a private space for all three family groups, by consisting of a kitchen, living room, and private bed and bathrooms. The courtyard, unifying all three units, is an open-air concrete structure that creates a public space for the family to share. It is accessible to all three units directly and can be accessed from the front of the lot through pathways and steppingstones.
The façade of the units serves as a rain screen and garden area for the family. Each window has ledges that allow the family to plant a variety of native plants. This window strategy also creates different types of light throughout the day.
