From the publisher: . . . Hubert Hoffmann contends that urban low-rise group housing can satisfy the owner's desire for a home of his own to the same extent as has the conventional free-standing one-family structure. He defines low-rise housing as one- to three-story buildings which serve as single family houses and in which a direct connection between the dwelling area and a private or semi-private space in the open air exists. This intricate connection between house and out-of-doors is the vital criterion of such low-rise buildings.
