Among the relatively rare examples of spacious development of quarters with the successful placement of automobile parking and entrances include several recent municipal construction projects in Chicago, where linear gallerine -type houses are used. Let us dwell on two such small quarters – Lumis Court and Archer Court.
Both quarters are interesting mainly from the point of view of organizing a territory that has received a clear and convenient functional division. The Lumis Court of 1.35 hectares is built up by four pair of pair of 7-storey linear houses of gallery type, relatively rarely found in the United States. Development density 10%. The population density is 290 per 1 ha. Each pair of buildings connected by a common gallery adjoin: decorative garden, playgrounds for games and sports, household courtyard for cleaning things and a bay-old bay, which simultaneously serves as an entrance to the houses.
The central part of the quarter is landscaped. The sports area is 0.16 ha or 4 m2 per 1 person. Living rooms are oriented to the west and southeast. I ventilation through. The residential quarter of Archer Court is built up by freely standing 7-story linear sections oriented to the southeast and northwest. The area of the quarter is 1.9 hectares, under the development there is 10% of the territory. The population density is 237 people per 1 ha. 1-storey household buildings with premises for laundries, house management and sheds are adjacent to the northwestern facade. Each house has a specially allocated site for kids. In addition, there are two sports grounds with an area of 0.43 hectares, which is 9.5 m2 per 1 inhabitant. Parking, as in the previous example, resolved in the form of bays, save the territory of the quarter from the entry of cars. In the system of subsidized municipal construction, there are occasionally examples of a very low density of multi -storey buildings.
