Protective landscaping with tall trees at the ends of buildings and road junctions provide community meeting spaces with shade from summer sun and visually safe spaces from home zone roads. This landscaping includes swales for surface run off and collection of rain water for irrigation. Stored water is collected in ponds providing both cooling of the urban heat island and amenity to residents. The building forms are organic designed to improve air flow across the site to help with cooling. Gently undulating roof lines and linear parks over parking give a roof top view of rolling hills with planted valleys mimicking nature.
