located in tenerife, 'icod', a hybrid of 12 houses between a block of apartments and detached houses with garden is conceived by
daolab - plotted on a steeply sloped site with presaged courtyards inside it. the scheme along with its neighbor, produces a symbiosis
that autoregulates and promotes relations. repeated six times, the modules generate and achieve high efficiency energy uses.
in order to to obtain a controlled, shaded and protected public space that serves as lung and heart of the area, a roofed community
space is implemented as the recreation area. all two and three room houses have identical conditions of orientation; views, height,
access, ventilation and lighting.

nice!
lot of stair undersides, but I like the tour you get in the house – and it’s quite mathematical!
nice distribution and public-private spaces relationships, but….is it all about stairs?
what about the interiors?
