File contains 6 drawings (3 site plans, 3 exterior perspectives), ink on bond, as well as 22 photographic prints of model. The medium density and medium rise residential community was planned for approximately 5,000 people in 900 units for average income families. The units were further subdivided into nine neighbourhood clusters containing 20 dwelling units sharing the circulation space and community facilities, such as schools, mosques, shops, recreation and open spaces. This density resulted in a stepped back building form that is eight storeys in height. The A-frame space provides a shaded and naturally ventilated inner street for community facilities in a richly landscaped setting. The project was not executed; the design and documentation were not completed
