• The site is flat with no major physical features, except a natural rainwater channel that runs diagonally across the south-west corner.• An accurate level survey shows a fall of 9 meters across the site’s width of one kilometer, which gives a gradient of 1 in 110.
SOIL
• The site and the rest of the city has a 2-2.5-metre-thick top strata of evenly deposited black cotton soil, expansive clay with some organic content.• Soil is very unreliable bearing material, as it is highly adhesive, soft, expand in volume when wet and shrinks heavily when dry.

LEVELS OF ACCESSIBILTY
At the community/ street level, the aim was to produce a design linking the scale of the built form and the human scale by incorporating a street life with plugged cluster houses, sympathetic and aesthetically complimenting each other and a socio cultural life of community interaction of families in the “otta” (outdoor platform).
• An important feature of the Indian home, at the service space between house, community spaces and the cul-de-sac.
• The street corner spaces are formed by the alternating arrangement of the road, the green space, and the pedestrian pathway
