Form & composition
Form & Composition
Type P begins like Type F, with an entrance at one side and two single first-floor windows. The difference is above: the second floor is organized as two paired window groups rather than three individual windows.
Type P' mirrors the entrance. The houses were often paired through open or enclosed porches, and flat porch roofs could support second-floor terraces.
