Landscape and surroundings
The triangular form of the site is surrounded by a mountain to the west, a stream to the east and a storm water servitude to the south. The proposal intends to transform these features into assets to the township, incorporating a series of infrastructure strategies to the grid layout.
Servitudes and restriction lines
The most important restrictions are the flood lines on the river and the slope restriction towards the mountain.
Existing grid and urban fabric
The surrounding urbanized land, to the east and south of the site, is constrained mainly by low densit
y developments.
The Extensions 6 and 7 have been rezoned to commercial use and a shopping mall is under construction. To the north of the shopping center there is another social housing development announced.
Connections
There are no existing connections to the site. The proposal develops as series of connections to the surroundings based on the current developments in the area and the previous proposed layout.
