Narrow Urban Townhouse Design for Rajagiriya

This narrow townhouse uses a dark rectangular screen as a deliberate contrast to its dense street surroundings. Closely spaced vertical fins cover two upper levels, while the ground-floor gate continues the same linear rhythm. The result is a facade with depth and privacy rather than a wall of exposed glazing.

For a Rajagiriya urban house concept, the key question is what happens behind that screen. Bedrooms or living spaces still need usable daylight, ventilation and outward views. The photograph does not reveal the rear elevation, internal courts or circulation, so a complete layout cannot be inferred from the frontage.

A site-specific version would benefit from testing the fin spacing at different times of day and allowing access for cleaning. Structa can also compare side-boundary restrictions, stair placement and a possible rear light court before committing to the visual enclosure shown here.
