Abstract

A housing arrangement and method for maximizing the number of houses with a line of sight to a view. The arrangement comprises a plurality of lots arranged side-by-side adjacent a view and along an imaginary arcuate string line which is connectable to other such string lines along an undulating path to define successive peaks closer to the view and valleys farther from the view. All lots thereby have a line of sight to the view. The lots are preferably each characterized by a building perimeter layout or envelope of predetermined configuration and orientation to enable substantially identical buildings to be placed on all of the lots.
