This Residential compound literally set the standard of residential communities in Egypt. From its sidewalks, curbs and gutters, rain drainage, street slopes, street lighting, landscape, ramps and so on. California Standard codes were implemented, and Egyptians loved it.

Its 28 acres were divided into 39 houses and a clubhouse. Average lot size is around 2000 m2. a major avenue splitting to 4 cul-de-sacs.

Due to the high-speed motorway facing the compound, the 400-meter fence was designed with 2 different modules, the first spanning 12-meter and the other 6-meter. Thus avoiding the annoying stroboscoping effect while driving fast next to it. At the same time the difference breaks the boring monotony of lengthy repetitive standard fence modules.
