Rear Alley Garage: Moving Cars to the Unseen Side

Rear Alley Garages: Moving Cars to the Unseen Side. The layout of a terraced housing development completely moves cars to the rear: the street-facing front only has entrances, front yards, and windows, with no garage doors or driveways crossing the sidewalk, thus the sidewalk is continuous and uninterrupted; all vehicles enter and exit via a 6-meter wide service alley at the rear of the buildings, where garage doors, trash cans, and equipment are all located. The image simultaneously shows both sides: the foreground is the quiet, tree-lined street facade with front yards; the background, seen through passages between buildings, reveals the rear alley garages and the rougher facade. Avoid: placing garage doors and driveways on the front, having the sidewalk cut by driveways, depicting the rear alley as refined as the front, and lacking material and quality differences between the two sides.

一片連棟住宅的配置把汽車完全移到後方:臨街的正面只有入口、前院與窗,沒有車庫門也沒有車道穿過人行道,因此人行道是連續不中斷的;所有的車輛由建築後方一條寬 6 公尺的服務巷進出,車庫門、垃圾桶與設備全部設在那裡。畫面同時呈現兩側:前景是安靜的、有樹與前院的街道立面;背景透過建築之間的通道可以看見後巷的車庫與較粗糙的立面。避免:正面設置車庫門與車道、人行道被車道切斷、後巷畫得與正面一樣精緻、兩側沒有材料與品質的差異。
