setback roof space is designed for residents of different floors to have a shared space close to them. Different activities can happen here, also with the potential to create jobs, such as managing the roof garden and recreational facilities. The semi-private space is more private for close neighbors to hold events like family parties as well as playground for kids. Then, we designed single buildings, mainly townhouses, to bring positive effect on its surrounding environment. The first is a stacked townhouse adjacent to the creek. The design creates great views for families. The second is facing the community roads, providing surveillance to keep it safe. The third takes
advantage of the elevation difference and creates smooth circulation. All of them are designed to benefit the residents who live in these townhouses as well as the surrounding environment. Finally, we focus on the design of flexible units to promote affordability, meeting the needs of immigrants. Immigrants who buy large units can rent some of the rooms to their relatives who immigrate later and share a common living space. They can also buy a smaller unit first, and when their relatives come, buy the adjacent unit, break down the walls and lease some rooms to the relatives.
