Accomodation types
// from Levittown to van der Island_house types //
The lace of streets demarcating grid will be interwoven by variety of buildings.
They will be organized so as to promote shoreline views and reinforce holiday atmosphere by continuous visual remainder of the 'sand & spade' idyll.
Waterfront is reserved for a typical New Town focus point: Civic Centre. Here, the centre is seen taken apart and each function given its individual block within the matrix.
Moving away from the parade, accommodation is becoming denser and taller: from 50x50 Miesian prototype villa [fig.1] , through McCormick row houses [fig.2 & 3], to Lafayette Park, IL, single- and double-story row houses [fig.4 & 5].
