For better family living for better use of land and for greater privacy

Contemporary house in Greensboro, N.C., by architects Hayes & Marshall, contrasts sharply with its traditional neighbor.

This house has 3 zones indoors and 3 zones out

Flanked by streets on two sides, neighbors on a third, this site made privacy difficult. The architect solved his problem by applying the principle of zone planning to the outside areas as well as the inside of the house. As shown in the plan below, interior and exterior zones were carefully related to make sure they work well together.
