Text description provided by the architects. Box House I houses three families in three different volumes within one box. The idea is to give each family a unique and private spatial experience, hence the program was divided volumetrically and each volume overlooks a private court yard. The ‘L’ shaped volume accessed in the ground floor is the largest volume and it includes a vestibule, in lot parking, and a large yard. The ‘T’ shaped volume accessed from the first floor is the smallest one; the inverted ‘T’ shape affords the courtyard a view of the sky and double height living space. The ‘U’ shaped volume is on the second floor, containing a discontinuous yard that creates two courtyards one with a water feature and the other with greens.
