The honeycomb concept was first introduced in Malaysia as an alternative to terrace houses and the predominantly rectilinear form of residential layouts. It seeks to offer a community lifestyle that many Malaysians used to enjoy in their childhood but in an urban setting.]]> 2017-09-28 07:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191962688 Concept syahirah_hani https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191963332 The cul-de-sac arrangement is not new. Neither is the concept of quarter-detached houses are arranged in a hexagon around a central space with a cul-de-sac they form a pleasant neighborhood unit. Moreover, the pattern can be expanded to form a much larger neighborhood made of interlocking units in the shape of a Honeycomb.

The basic Honeycomb neighborhood resembles the cul-de-sac, but up to now the cul-de-sac has been use as a special- case arrangement for either small sites or small parcels of land within a bigger site. The Honeycomb housing concept can apply the basic cul-de-sac arrangement the whole precincts is shown in the site layout ]]> 2017-09-28 08:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191963332 Design syahirah_hani https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191967277 There are 2 essential parts to Honeycomb housing:
1) Based on the geometric concept of tessellations.
2) Re-interpretation of the idea of "neighborhood".]]> 2017-09-28 08:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191967277 Problems syahirah_hani https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191970181
Being so new, many developers would worry about the difficulty of obtaining approvals from the local authorities and so hesitate to be the first to adopt the honeycomb concept. Another problem is that the houses are not rectangular and the house design ends up with odd corners in the house. Another criticism comes from followers ‘fengshui’, the ancient Chinese art of geomancy, who believe that in a cul-de-sac ‘the chi energy coming to a house placed at the end of a road is usually fast, so the energy is pernicious and non-beneficial. Instead of bringing good fortune, it brings misfortune’.


Nowadays cul-de-sacs are often frowned upon in planning circles, especially by supporters of the New Urbanism: they do not permit higher densities, are car-dependent, and unlike grid systems, do not lend themselves to redevelopment and change. However the Honeycomb housing concept - which allows relatively high density - does appear to overcome some of the concerns here.

The house purchaser does not receive a simple land title, but ends up with a group or strata-title, where several residents share ownership of and responsibility for a bigger piece of land.]]> 2017-09-28 08:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191974440 Project syahirah_hani https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191977178 Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam, Selangor]]> 2017-09-28 08:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/syahirah_hani/z6f717ob95v1/wish/191977178
