People like to live in cul-de-sacs. According to an American study by Eran Joseph in 1995, between the ‘grid’, ‘loops’ and cul-de-sacs, the latter were the most popular. In Malaysia, a developing country with per capita income a quarter of that in the US, only the rich can afford to live in a single-family house located in a cul-de-sac. How can the cul-de-sac be made affordable for more people?

First, we improve the cul-de-sac by making it bigger to be able to fit in a public green area in the middle because local planning regulations require 10% of any residential development to be open space. Then we create an interlocking arrangement of cul-de-sacs such that each building lot would face at least two cul-de-sacs. If the buildings in this layout were detached houses, they would be in the top range of the market. In Honeycomb housing, we sub-divide the buildings into 2, 3, 4 or 6, to create duplex, triplex, quadruplex or sextuplex units. As we divide the buildings, the land area and the built-up area become smaller; the number of units in the layout and the density of the development go up. The standard of finishes of the units can also be reduced. All these make the housing units less expensive. Yet every building still retains a public access. Furthermore, the quality of the external environment is not compromised – only that more units share it!

There are two essential parts to Honeycomb housing: first is the design method which is based on the geometric concept of tessellations; second, is the re-interpretation of the idea of ‘neighborhood’, that is at present still strongly influenced by the ‘neighborhood unit’ concept, first introduced in 1929 by a sociologist, Clarence Perry, in the US.

Senibong Cove is a master-planned integrated residential, tourism and marina estate created on 200 acres of land that stretches from the new East Coast Highway to the Straits of Johor. The phased development will include new residential neighbourhoods surrounded by parks, cycle and walking tracks in a secure and gated community. With a foreshore hosting an international-standard Yacht Club and restaurants, residents will experience a truly sophisticated lifestyle. Waterfront homes will have boat access to the marina, Lunchoo River and the Straits of Johor.

Tropical Landscaping at Senibong CoveWithin beautiful tropical landscaping, secured neighbourhoods will deliver an idyllic “gardens and waterways” style of living for families and their guests. In this gated community at Senibong Cove residents enjoy peaceful lives, confident that unobtrusive security is protecting their investments and their privacy around the clock.
