Revised Urban Massing Four adjacent blocks were designated to test urban design strategies, housing program combinations, and the required housing density. Community facilities with open spaces are housed within the blocks which are linked by 2 bridges. Housing units are placed above the street, on a podium, and cater to a mix of income groups, with 35% of the units designated to the lowest income group. All residential units are private, and several buildings have courtyards for the residents. The decks are proposed for community amenities such as playgrounds, sports facilities, sitting areas, and gardens. On the elevated deck, offices and retail surround the open space.
