- Abstract
Single‐family house? You may The typology of the compact courtyard house enables private forms of living on one's own land with a high urban density. The so‐called compact courtyard house was developed and examined as a new type of courtyard house at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences (HFT Stuttgart). Added to neighbourhoods, it provides residents with urban living spaces reducing land consumption and can combine high density, diversity of use and a high degree of privacy and residential quality in both indoor and outdoor spaces – in both new and existing situations. By definition, this is achieved by integrating courtyards/outdoor spaces into the building structure as exclusively private usable areas that can not be looked into (instead of exposed distance areas with lower usable value outside the building) and by providing lighting and ventilation via these areas. Indoor and outdoor spaces can thus merge into a protected and closely interlinked living space. The results to date of the interdisciplinary DFG‐funded research work, which has been ongoing since 2017, demonstrate with an extensive typology, generally valid solution strategies and many individual investigations that this approach already works on unusually small plots (approx. 60–200 m2) of varying proportions with up to five‐storey buildings for one or more parties. Some of the variants that emerge from different basic types are suitable as single‐family houses on their own land and can thus enable this form of housing sought by the majority in a sustainable urban environment of high density and heterogeneity.
