BASIC AMENITIES
Basic amenities are essential services and facilities that ensure safe, healthy, and comfortable living. They
include access to clean water, electricity, sanitation, structural safety, and security systems. These
fundamentals form the foundation of livable housing, supporting daily needs and well-being.

1. Convenience: Amenities save time and effort in daily life.


2. Comfort: They provide a relaxed and enjoyable living
environment.
3. Quality of Life: Contributes to overall well-being.
4. Added Value: Features like pools or gyms boost property value
Improved Quality of Life:
Basic amenities like clean water, sanitation,
electricity, and garbage collection are essential
for a healthy and comfortable living environment.

Safety and Security:


Amenities like security systems, well-lit areas,
and efficient maintenance services contribute to
a safer and more secure living environment.

Sustainability:
Green amenities like energy-efficient buildings
and water-saving technologies contribute to a
more sustainable and environmentally friendly
housing project.

Social and Health Services:


For affordable housing, on-site childcare, health
clinics, or counseling services can be crucial for
residents' well-being.
Examples of Basic Amenities:
Essential Infrastructure: Roads, sidewalks, water
supply, sanitation, electricity, and garbage
collection
Social Facilities: Playgrounds, parks, walking paths,
and flexible communal gathering areas
Recreational Facilities: Fitness centers, swimming
pools, and sports courts
Parking and Transportation: Secure parking and
access to public transportation
Security: Security systems, well-lit areas, and
efficient maintenance, CCTV
Technology: Smart home features, internet access,
and power backup
While basic amenities and infrastructures are closely related and often overlap in the context of housing, they
are not exactly the same thing.

Basic amenities are the end goals (what residents need to live comfortably).
Infrastructures are the means to achieve those goals (the systems and structures that deliver those needs).
INFRASTRUCTURES
Housing infrastructure refers to the physical systems and structures that support the functioning of residential
areas. These systems are essential for delivering basic amenities like water, electricity, and sanitation, which
are critical for a comfortable and livable environment.
Water Supply Systems:
This includes pipes, pumps, and storage tanks that ensure clean drinking water reaches every household.

Sanitation and Sewage Systems:


Proper drainage and treatment plants are necessary to manage waste and maintain hygiene.

Electrical Grids:
Power lines, transformers, and distribution networks provide uninterrupted electricity for lighting,
appliances, and other needs.
Transport Networks:
Roads, sidewalks, and public transit systems ensure connectivity and
accessibility.

Communication Systems:
Internet and telephone lines keep residents connected in today’s digital world.

Waste Management:
Garbage collection and recycling centers help maintain cleanliness &
sustainability.

These components work together to create a functional and efficient housing ecosystem. Without them, basic
amenities cannot be delivered effectively, and the quality of life for residents would significantly decline.

BUILT SPACES AND
OPEN SPACES
Built-up spaces are enclosed areas for private living
within a shared boundary, while open spaces are
communal outdoor areas for social interaction and
environmental benefits, both contributing to a
harmonious and sustainable living environment.

Built-Up Spaces
Enclosed areas for shelter and functionality.
Include private spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms),
communal spaces (living rooms, kitchens), and
functional spaces (laundry, storage).
Open Spaces
Unenclosed areas for interaction, recreation, and
environmental benefits.
Include communal open spaces (courtyards, balconies,
green areas) and infrastructure open spaces (parking,
roads/pathways).
Built-Up Spaces
Functionality and Layout: Ensure efficient use of
space for daily activities like cooking, sleeping,
and relaxation.
Ventilation and Lighting: Design with adequate
windows and openings to allow natural light and
airflow.
Adaptability: Incorporate flexibility for future
modifications or expansions to meet changing
needs.
Cost Efficiency: Use simple shapes and layouts to
reduce construction costs while maintaining
structural integrity.
Safety and Accessibility: Incorporate universal
design principles to ensure accessibility for all
residents.
Open Spaces
Social Interaction: Include communal areas like
courtyards and gardens to encourage community
engagement.
Environmental Sustainability: Integrate green
spaces to improve air quality.
Infrastructure Integration: Plan for functional
infrastructure like parking and pathways that are
accessible and aesthetically pleasing.
Natural Ventilation: Use open spaces to enhance
cross-ventilation in adjacent built-up areas.
Aesthetic Appeal: Design open spaces with
landscaping elements to create visually pleasing
environments.

Interaction Between Built-Up and Open Spaces


Balance: Ensure a seamless balance between private built-up spaces and communal open spaces.
Optimize Land Use: Cluster built-up spaces around shared open spaces to maximize land use and accessibility.
Enhance Functionality: Strategically use open spaces to support built-up areas through improved ventilation,
lighting, and social interaction.
