Based on what the architect said in the article, there's probably a regulation where there can only be one residential building per residential lot, at least in some areas/zones (dwelling unit may have been the wrong word to use). Usually in this context, accessory buildings like sheds and garages are still allowed, so you can't technically frame it as "one building per lot". But I think the glass passageway is so that there's still technically just "one house" divided into sections.
