Córdoba-based Studio LZ ??has designed a group of seven L-shaped, two-bedroom homes in the city of Villa Allende, Argentina.
Named Azaleas, the small housing development was built on a 600-square-metre plot in the north of Villa Allende in central Argentina.

Studio LZ arranged the houses in two rows on either side of a central courtyard with the aim of creating homes that made the best use of the small plot.
"The project is about achieving a good quality of life on a minimal parcel and developing a rational and adjusted architecture that allows the distribution of spatial and economic resources correctly," Studio LZ founder Pablo Lorenzo told Dezeen.

Each of the two-storey homes has the same L-shaped floor plan with large windows on both floors overlooking a small courtyard space. Five of the seven houses also have an additional outdoor space, a covered area that contains a barbecue, while a communal pool has been built at the front of the development.

Each of the homes has the same arrangement internally, but they have been orientated in a variety of ways to create a series of private spaces.

"The resulting layout is the answer to a design exercise where the internal functional need interacts with its immediate external environment," explained Lorenzo.
"This geometry allows us to alternate, rotate or mirror each volume to achieve privacy, gain light, generate interesting spatial dynamics, and also collaborates with constructive rationality in...
