  Building Type - Housing

  Year - 1994
  Description -  
The two-storey houses are arranged
around a square, which contains a
circular pathway giving access to all
units. The demarcation of central
enclosures is clearly established by
framed gateways with pedestrian
passages connecting the site to garages
on two ends adjoining peripheral roads.

Each dwelling unit has a private


enclosed garden at the rear, which
reflects the traditional British terrace
housing.
 
The architectural language of the
housing complex is based on energy
saving devices, e.g. deep set windows,
shaded balconies verandahs, roof
umbrellas and overhangs which keep the
walls roof and glazing protected from the
harsh glare of the sun.

The texture of stone and its changing


colours forms an important feature of
design complimenting the natural foliage
on the site.
