The “shared space” of a multi-occupant space is usually a shared foyer or shared courtyard placed at the central and easily accessible areas of a house. Instead of approaching the challenge of a duplex in this way, the spatial dynamics of a curve, from the precedent E-1027 by Eileen Gray, were abstracted. The idea that the curve both exposes and conceals was resolved into openings and impositions within the form in which the house’s occupants get glimpses into each other’s lives. This occurs at discreet moments, where sight and sound are engaged in order to understand that form is shared and the units are intertwined.
