New housing schemes are required to link well to existing residential developments, as demonstrated by this sketch of a mixed type modern housing scheme. Designing a mass housing with several types of households.Keeping in mind the following:- Segregation of housing types- Main artery road- Community spaces

location- Safety- Open Spaces- Noise Control

Irregular site allows for making small clusters of Housing TypologiesThe connectivity via a road is important since there has to be only one entry.The Major entry needs to be traffic free.Site allows for sufficient clusters to be formed and the remaining acute space can be covered in open spaces.
