A street house is an attached or semi-detached dwelling characterized by specic architectural features such as a tube-shaped layout, a tube-shaped arcade, and a narrow frontal facade that allows direct access from a street or alley.

The main challenge was achieving 100% natural light and cross-ventilation in each space while creating privacy pockets. An essential element of a street house is the courtyard, which maximizes light and ventilation. This courtyard area became part of the residential function, contributing to a natural cooling system in a hot, arid climate.
