The site was developed in 1995. However, after the foundations were put in place, the Asian financial crisis hit. After 13 years of dereliction, the new architecture was tasked with resurrecting the ambitions of earlier years. The design extends the original pile grid into 26 new houses, transforming a generic housing development into a small neighborhood of cohesiveness that addresses environmental concern, and optical calibration. One house has been constructed to date.
