In the office these houses are known as the Fraternal (non-identical) Twins. The opportunity to redevelop a pair of semi-detached houses for two different clients is common, but for the projects to eventually be realised is rare.
Rather than using the traditional approach of mirroring the residences around the party wall, the response was to the immediate context of the sites and their environmental conditions, resulting in two houses with very different spatial qualities.
