SLAB/BLOCK COMPOUND
Currently the type is mostly privately developed as high-end gated estates. Once a recurrent 6-story type for public housing during the 1980s, current state-developed compounds blocks go up to 15 stories. Blocks appear in pairs or rows merged at party walls. In public developments parking lots are over ground, in private ones, mostly underground. In all cases, double aspect apartments are accessed directly from central circulation core or minimal hallways. High-end gated developments have various private amenities, communal facilities in separate buildings, and gardens.
