How then, given the constraints of the two party walls, can a mid-terrace house be better lighted? How can sunlight be brought into the interior while simultaneously excluding solar gain? How can a mid-terrace house be naturally ventilated so that it is comfortable without air conditioning? How can nature be introduced into the mid-terrace house?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart of the problem is that architects and designers usually work in plan and developers rarely if ever show a terrace house in section. It is invariably about maximizing square feet. But innovation can only come about by designing in section, particularly in the tropical climate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll 26 terrace houses in this book exhibit such innovative design in section. The reader is invited to study the sectional drawings and suitably inspired, we can move forward to a new generation of climatically appropriate terrace houses for the tropics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51578870956278,"sku":"9789671636138","price":180.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/8050\/3286\/files\/my-11134207-7r98r-lpzz289cf10548.jpg?v=1788422120","url":"https:\/\/shop.litbooks.com.my\/products\/9789671636138","provider":"Lit Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
