Form & composition

Compressed And Unified

Type K is a three-bay house in which the entrance and the broad window group read closely together. The first floor places the door beside paired, tripartite or projecting windows, with one single window at the far side. Three individual windows sit above.

Type K′ reverses the façade.

Identification guide

How to Recognize It

Focus on the first floor. The entrance and broad window group sit unusually close together beneath a shared architectural hood.

01Side entrance

The doorway sits immediately beside the large window group.

02Broad opening

Paired, tripartite or projecting windows form the central element.

03Single outer window

One separate first-floor window occupies the far side.

04Three upper windows

Evenly spaced individual openings restore a calm rhythm above.

Architectural character

Designed As One Unit

The type is similar to other three-bay bay-window houses, but its ground-floor elements feel especially compressed and unified.

A hipped standing-seam metal roof or hood may visually join the entrance and projecting bay composition.
