The proposed 12 dwellings O'Herlihy is one of the most interesting among its latest projects, and these pictures shows an analysis of this project. There are 12 homes with formal variations.
The original idea of these 12 homes was to build experience and create individual identities for each house, using elements of design and construction shares.
As a result, O'Herlihy created four prototypes, resulting in a set of houses that seemed a kind of puzzle.
These 12 houses are expected to be completed by spring 2008.
