To embody the concept of being able to extend beyond the present, it could be achievable  through spillover areas, corridors, or workplace, in order for their residents to grow their well-being as well as market businesses. The goal of this design for Vashinaka community was to give additional spillover areas(later could be their incremented spaces), appropriate light and ventilation, and a communicative living environment, all of which were lacking in the present housing situation. Units in current housing dwellings face inwards with an interior corridor, providing not a very participatory feature in these housing systems. Hence, as one moves away from the ground, upper stories, the concept of a street in the air and outwardly facing passageways comes into play.
