Multi-Use Development - Urban HousingA new master plan was designed for the South Lamar cooridor in Austin, Texas after observing several issues along the stretch. A housing development, which was required to be a multi-use development, was designed to be built along the road in a selected site. The new proposed master plan of South Lamar is shown on the left in the form of two maps. Model and section studies for the multi-use housing development are shown on this page. Final drawings of the project, as well as images of the final model, are shown on pages 28-33.
