Evergreen trees in the first-floor front yard soften the view into the house from neighbors.
They also act as a substitute for curtains for the second floor. Furthermore,
having a view of the evergreen trees from the living room, dining room,
kitchen, or bedrooms is a pleasant experience.
This type of layout is called a courtyard house, and it's a type of urban residence. |

A two-family house with separate first and
second floors that gives off an urban family vibe
There are various ways to separate the households in a two-family home.
For example, they can be separated by floor, or even if they are integrated,
the bathrooms and kitchens can be separated.In any case, we believe it
is important for each family to be able to feel each other's presence to
some extent.
In this plan, we will place evergreen trees and a ramp in the courtyard.The
courtyard will bring brightness and a sense of openness to each household
on the first and second floors, while also creating a home where each family
can feel each other's presence to some extent.
