GROUND PLAN

BEDROOM PLAN

Plate [xxix.] and the accompanying scale-drawing give the plan and elevation of a block of three cottages, a sketch of which appears in Plate [xxx.] The inner one occupies an exact third of the land, and is double fronted. By putting the inner one with its axis to the front, an equal garden-space is given to all the houses without incurring a re-division of the land.

The inner and left-hand houses have practically the same accommodation, but the right-hand has several advantages: there is a wider hall, the living room is not a passage room, while the kitchen is reached from the hall, and the wash-house is entered from the yard.
