The houses are arranged in two pairs, with numbers 1 and 2 on the right and numbers 3 and 4 on the left, stepped down the hillside, with numbers 3 and 4 being at a lower level. Each house follows a two-room plan, with one room at the front and one at the rear, featuring back-to-back fireplaces corresponding to the axial stacks.
