The function of the boundary wall is not only separating the property but also creating impressions of the families living in the houses or of the companies. Also, the walls are not there only to hide the life inside. The boundary walls do not completely separate inside and outside. They separate the grounds leaving slight vagueness. The boundary walls allow good ventilation, and they also allow the people to see out- side nicely through the openings in the walls. So the space created inside the walls is not completely isolated.
