Form & composition

Form & Composition

There is no mirror version. The facade is deliberately restrained, with no elaborate entry treatment.

Architectural character

What Makes It Distinctive

Type Z's importance lies in its singularity and clarity. It shows that the house-type system was not limited to repeated pairs; the designers also used one-off solutions where the row and site called for them.
