Terraces are designed to optimize the full usage of a site in low-rise residential areas but terraces usually face issues of improper ventilation, lighting circulation, and drainage. These issues were addressed in this design by incorporating plumbing ducts, greenery partially enclosed private courtyards, balconies, and positioning of rooms at corners to ensure cross ventilation. Even though the site might present tight constraints, through strategic spatial planning and allocation, additional features such as a maid’s room, laundry, store, and walk-in closets were properly integrated to provide a home for the end users.
