The location : The house located on ”Hadabet Al-Ahram” overlooking ”Kornish El-Mokattam’’. It contains 3 residential units: Unit 1 : Ground and first floors (duplex). Unit 2 : second floor. Unit 3 : third floor .   The design concept: The composition of units in the vertical Axe achieves the idea of overlooking, so that every unit has a private garden (roof gardens). Design elements:

• The ground garden and the house are oriented towards the desired northern wind.
• Privacy was achieved by separating entrances.
• Connecting between house and outdoor garden was achieved by the use of steps.
• Maximum shading was reached by the mass overlapping.
• Separation between guest zone and other zones was achieved by the use of bent entrance.
