 CONCEPT:      
• The basic concept was to come up with a
new residential typology which breaks
away from the clusters of isolation towers.
• Horizontally connected volumes
establishing a better connected and less
isolated Residential environment.
• The whole idea is emphasized by extensive
networks of gardens or courtyards.
Extensive roof gardens and landscape
terraces offer more green space than the
size of unbuilt space.
• Also the interlocking blocks from the
vertical village comprise of sky gardens and
both private and public roof terraces.
• While multi- story openings allow light and
air through the landscape.
 Interlace consists of six storey blocks
staggered in a hexagonal arrangements
surrounding eight courtyards.
A-  Water Park
B-  Play Hills
C-  Central Square
D-  Spa Valley
E-  Theatre Plaza
F-  Lotus Pond

INFERENCES
• Though the design generates cliff horizontal arrangements of blocks instead of
a skyscraper but it is only possible when the site is large enough.
• No intersect ion of pedestrian movement by vehicular movement.
• More incorporation of social spaces.
• More of green area than the built-up area, thus making it a part of the ecology.
• All types of units are mixed.
• The spatial arrangen1ents of the different blocks prov ide different states of sun
and shadow. with large water bodies provided for influencing the microclimate
in the recreational spaces between two towers. improving the overall quality of
comfort and experience.
• Through stacking the Apartments, the design generates a multiplication of horizontal
surfaces populated by extensive roof gardens and landscaped terraces that offer more
green space than the size of the unbuilt space.
