Shotgun housing

For shotgun housing I wanted to keep the idea of being able to see the end of the house as you walk inside. However I wanted to incorporate the concepts of major vs minor axis and also the idea of intersection, both ideas which I explored on my board last week. So I made it in a way that I have one room in the middle of the house that unifies the major and minor axis of the house, and both of those could be a separate shotgun house, creating a larger version of a shotgun house.

Tenement Housing

Had quite a hard time with not only recreating a tenement house but also visualizing (and quite honestly spelling it and pronouncing it too lol).

But the way I worked around tenement was with the idea of overlap and repetition (sequence), by stacking and combining the same initial structure creating something more complex.
