This document outlines the requirements and instructions for an individual final project on designing a residential landscape. Students must choose the same site from a previous analysis project. They will design the landscape for a house and prepare presentation boards to propose the design to the client/homeowner. The boards must include a project description, conceptual diagrams, schematic plan, master plan, cost estimate, and maintenance plan. All drawings must be completed by hand and presented on A3 boards by November 24th for marking. Progress will be checked weekly and colored illustrations are encouraged. The project aims to develop students' design process and small-scale landscape design skills.

scale landscape
project
To acquire
knowledge
about design
process and
development

4. Your task

2. From the same site that you were
doing for project 2, you are need to
design the landscape for the
house.
3. you have to imagine that you are going
to present the landscape proposal to
client (who is the house owner).
4. You have to prepare all drawings
needed for every development
stages.

5. 5. The development stages shall include;
a. project description
b. conceptual diagram
c. schematic plan
d. master plan
e. cost estimation &
maintenance plan
6. All drawings need to be completed
manually (hand drawn & hand
written) by using architectural graphic
communication except for images.
Images can be printed out.

6. a. Project description
A short paragraph of your design
statement, explaining about the
ideas, rationale of the design and
the concept. The narration should be
briefly described, straight forward and

**note: it is advisable to complete at the end of
the process.

7. Project description/
Design statement

8. b. Conceptual diagram
1. From site synthesis, develop a
bubble diagram. Bubble diagram is
used as a means to show what are
spaces and activities that you want to
propose at the site.
2. Next, From the bubble diagram, you
need to come out with a conceptual
plan. Conceptual plan is a breakdown
(more detailed) of your synthesis
(design solutions) and bubble diagram
related to the site.

13. c. Schematic plan
From the conceptual plan, you need to
develop a schematic plan. It is also
known as preliminary master plan. In
schematic plan, you need to compose the
elements that you want to put in
your design. It should have form
composition, shape and pattern of
the design elements. You may provide
sketches/illustrations
(sections/elevations) to better
represent your ideas.

of the landscape project. The
cost estimation will be taught by
guest lecturer (qs lecturer)
in week 14. the cost estimation is

of quantities (bq).
2. A brief maintenance plan that will
also be taught during the input
lecture.
