This street network analysis showed Park Heights Avenue as being a major collector road going North and South. The diagram also discovered the disconnected street network system between East and West which establishes mental barriers between the site and the surrounding neighborhoods.
This diagram shows a lack of public amenities and employment opportunities immediate to the site.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE Serves as a new typological implementation in the city Adds prominence to the cityscape via Park Heights The park is a public pedestrian experience to open up the new typology to the surrounding community A low density relief to highly dense environment Promotes modest living
THE MICRO PARK
The Micro Park is an open, environmentally sustainable recreational neighborhood on the outskirts of the project RFQ. This subcommunity is the development’s environmental implementation, to responsibly support the natural landscape and to encourage healthy, conservative and low cost lifestyles. The core of the park serves as the primary experience for the pedestrian network.
