The village was produced with the idea that the residents were going to alter it in many
ways, therefore homes are freestanding.
Differently priced plans appeal to a wide variety of income levels.
The development supports Correas theory that low-rise architecture and high-density
planning are not contradictory approaches to
housing.

PROBLEMS FACED
The village originally had a high
concentration of artists. Today, less
than 10% of the residents are artists.
Rest of them work in service sector
Reasons for leaving their homes:
No provisions were made for the
common spaces in the center of each
cluster of houses.
No one was in charge of maintaining
them
Concept of keeping toilet block
outside was not appreciated
Some clusters of the village became
mini-slums
Studio spaces (72-76sqmt.) were too
