Form & composition

A Strong Visual Center

Type G is one of the district’s most widely distributed three-bay designs. The entrance sits at one side, a broad paired, tripartite or projecting window occupies the center, and a single window completes the first floor. Three evenly spaced windows sit above.

Type G′ mirrors the arrangement. In some paired houses, the entries share an enclosed wood portico, making the relationship between neighboring façades especially clear.

Identification guide

How to Recognize It

The broad central opening is the key. It is framed by a side entrance and one additional single window.

01Side entrance

The entry occupies the outer bay of the three-part façade.

02Broad center window

A paired, tripartite or projecting window anchors the first floor.

03Single outer window

One additional window completes the opposite side.

04Three upper windows

Even spacing creates a calm second-floor rhythm.

Architectural character

The Window As An Anchor

The large first-floor opening is the visual anchor. It may be flush with the wall or project outward as a bay, but the three-part rhythm remains.
