80 GERMANY Dessau-Ziebig 2011 Individual and semi-detached houses Several of this group of houses pay homage to historic structures. A ramp leads from the road to the car park. The living room is slightly above ground level, with the garden accessible via a stairway. The glass rooftop and the cut-away roof terrace are other significant features in stand-alone houses. Wood is a constant theme in this project, with only the external staircase wrapped in expanded metal. The broad projection of the roof also shapes the exterior and is significant regarding how the houses are oriented towards the pavilion. The design of the open spaces is also important, with an integrated trellis and a planted slope screening the garage from the garden.
