Residential Typology Study

I chose to use this style of typological study to look at the variation in housing on a given block and selected several houses along Rutherford Avenue in Beechview.  I noticed they shared many characteristics between these homes, and it is likely they were all designed by the same architect roughly 80 years ago.  The design varies slightly from house to house, making this the perfect opportunity to look at subtle typological shifts.  I realized partway through creating this diagram that the shifts are less subtle than they originally seemed, and that in fact, there is a great deal of spatial and massing variation between the homes, especially in the upper floors. The homes all share a similar porch, lawn, basement and ground floors. If I were to take this diagram further, I would attempt to figure out the inner layout of each home based on their differences.
