HONEYCOMB BUILDING TYPES

THE DUPLEX HOUSE
A residential block is divided into two units, linking back to back, each house accessed from a separate cul-de-sac. Viewed from the courtyard in front of a duplex, the house looks like a detached house.



THE TRIPLEX HOUSE
A block is partitioned into three units,whereby each unit gains access from seperate courtyards. Looking at the front of these houses, they look like detached homes.


THE QUADRUPLEX HOUSE
A residential block is divided into four units, each house having an independant accesss. Two houses face one courtyard, and the other another pair. From each courtyard the houses give the impression of being semi-detached houses shoulder-to-shoulder to each other.



THE SEXTUPLEX HOUSE
Six houses are linked tgether in a Y-formation such that two houses face each of three courtyards. Like the quadruplex, the sextuplex houses also give the impression of being semi-detached houses.



A Honeycomb layout consisting of quadruplex and sextuplex houses can yield up to 14 units an acre, making it equivalent to terrace houses.
