NO to a totally closed-off city block.
YES to an open block which allows for:
– maximum sunlight in the living spaces and in the common spaces at the centre of the block
– constructions of different heights along the perimeter of the block in order to let the sunlight in
– double exposure homes with the day rooms facing south
– a platform for access at the level that has an area of arcades along its perimeter while in the center are spaces for common use, including gardens, game room and the possibility of a swimming pool which would take advantage of the maximum sunlight at the center of the block.
