CONCEPT DESIGN

We have contacted several developers and engineering consultants in order to know the
main elements that should be taken into consideration in designing residential compound
project. these elements are:

Land Shape
The best land shape to enhance the design of residential compounds is the square shape
then comes the rectangular shape. In some cases where the land has irregular shape, it is
a bit tricky to have ideal master planning for the project.

Web Concept
the web concept is to place all the main facilities and amenities in the center of the project
to serve all tenants equally by developing streets and pathways in web shape.

Traffic Analysis
One the most important factors is to design the project to ensure the traffic easy
movement as well as safety for tenants (especially children). In addition entrance and exit
of the project should be done in a very efficient way to ensure the easy access to inside
and outside the project.

In order to know what type of compound could be most preferable for investment ( after taking into consideration the tenant and investor point of view,), we have done
a comparison between the 4 categories by using grading system. The result is to give preliminary idea which category is the best for investment, yet many factors can
affect the results and change the output which we do not know at this stage such as lands location & prices, type of investment, BOQ and dev cost, etc..
