ECR VILLAS
Site Division
The site is divided into individual plots with a common driveway. Each house has its individual parking slots.
Spatial Organization
The villas are linearly organized and each villa has an entry court and a rear landscaped garden. These gardens are connected across the site to span a continuous green network. Pedestrian strips connect the forecourt and the rear garden.
Building Configuration
The building overlays are offset to let in the pedestrian spine. This also takes advantage of the prevailing wind directions and allows it to pass through the spine. The natural topography of the site is used to organize the villas across three levels, two on podiums and one at the formed level of the site. The driveway and parking is tucked under the podium enabling a green belt along the length of the site. There is an open space network all along the rear side.
