Abstract
A multi-family dwelling for provding privacy, security and improved land utilization includes a series of eight individual living units configured into a dual-cruciform structure wherein each living unit shares a common dividing wall on one side with a contiguous living unit and perpendicular thereto shares another dividing wall with a different contiguous unit. Each living unit has its own private and enclosed atrium courtyard as well as its own private and remotely located garage. The common dividing walls are substantially perpendicular to each other and the layout of each living unit in combination with its garage and atrium courtyard is substantially identical, though mirror images so as to enable each cruciform structure to be positioned at the approximate center of its correspondig lot. Each living unit is connected to its corresponding garage by a first wall section which includes a security gate and by a second, separate wall section which is disposed substantially perpendicular to the first wall section. The security gate and the garage each communicate with a corresponding city street by means of a walkway and driveway.
