FLEXIBLE LAYOUT

• A kit of building elements was developed and used as a

means to create a rich urban fabric. Variation is
achieved through the use of a modular standardised
plan to which elements can be added on to allow
different permeantations. This allows for the users
needs to be satisfied and creating a interesting street
edge.
By letting the users to choose their own
elements each house become unique . So the
street edge and elevation becomes diverse.
