~RESIDENTIAL VILLAGE~ |
|||||||
This model residential village project is envisioned to be sited on several dozen acre sites within commuting distance of downtown Port au Prince. It synthesizes Haitian and American medium density "suburban" models. The house types would vary in scale and configuration, from small homes to estate lots, with potential also for modestly scaled apartment and mixed use buildings. |
Each typical lot accommodates two dwelling
units.
Existing trees, natural watercourses and
other landscape features will to be restored and enhanced.
A connected grid of streets and blocks
will be integrated with the site's existing topography and
landscape.
The residential core of the villages
would be developed initially, providing a resilient foundation for
incremental infill growth. |
