On the first floor of the subsidised housing complex, the facades are screened by continuous terraces and projecting balconies on the upper storey that are overlooked by the living spaces. Sunbreakers are used to create more privacy. different finishes for the walls: plaster for the horizontal buildings, and exposed brick for the patio houses. All the horizontal buildings face south for greater sun exposure, and offer views over the surrounding countryside. Amaca’s subsidised housing optimally differentiates, with just a few clever design elements, a residential type whose nature does not allow for much compositional creativity. For example, in order to increase privacy in the apartment blocks, the firm designed a series of sunbreakers that screen the continuous terraces overlooked by the living spaces. On the upper storeys, the terraces become balconies, varying the continuity of the facades, and some of the south-facing apartments feature small, covered roof terraces rising above the roof – a feature typical of Venetan architecture. Every apartment has its own character, avoiding the usual homogeneity of this kind of speculative building. The layout of the row of residential buildings nearest the countryside is more complex. Here, two units of five terrace houses each cover 4,017 square metres (43,239 square feet). The first three houses of each unit have the same distributional and volumetric layouts, with internal patios and gardens at the front connected by a small pergola-covered walkway. The layout of the fourth houses mirrors that of the first three, while the houses on the outer edges of each unit are single storey, with a patio that opens to the countryside. For this residential complex, Amaca started out with a local scheme for the row house with a north–south arrangement, 3 to 4 metres (9.8 to 13 feet) of garden to the front, a 7-metre (23-foot) deep housing body and a back garden. This layout had the obvious problems of an introverted floor plan and limited privacy. However, the introduction of a small interior patio creates greater sun exposure and an intimate space screened by the sunbreakers on the windows of the houses opposite. The entrances were resolved by modulating the volumes of the facades, which are visually connected by an exposed-brick continuous base. The brick base also generates shared courtyards at the front of the buildings, where garage entrances alternate with the entrances to the houses, set in recessed niches. Likewise, in the subsidised building units, the first storey of the houses is a parallelepiped volume (the 137+
In the complex next to the countryside, the view from the back gardens shows the compositional variation of the local scheme for row houses. The row of buildings facing the countryside consists of two units of five houses. The first three houses have the same floor plan, which is mirrored in the fourth house. The last house has a patio layout on a single floor that opens to the countryside. The ground floor adds some single-storey volumes that help define a small courtyard in front of the houses. 138+
