This townhouse has been specifically designed to accommodate a unique living arrangement—a young family residing alongside their older generation. The architectural concept revolves around two distinct houses that are interconnected by a shared garden and a magnificent roof garden.
The primary focus of the design is to optimize the functionality of the space, ensuring that both households have their privacy while also fostering a sense of togetherness. To balance the clean lines and sharp angles of the structure, a thoughtful touch of elegance is introduced through the incorporation of wood cladding on select portions of the exterior. This warm and organic material not only adds visual interest but also creates a welcoming ambiance, further enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the townhouse.

The wood cladding serves a dual purpose, blending aesthetics with functionality. While it softens the otherwise rigorous volumes of the townhouse, it also introduces a natural element that harmonizes with the surrounding environment. By strategically placing the wooden accents, the design achieves a delicate balance between modernity and a more traditional, timeless feel. This juxtaposition of materials and styles ensures that the townhouse seamlessly integrates into its urban setting while simultaneously embracing the natural world.
