which is more on green plants. The purpose is to attract the vision

is located at the south of the site to let people rest in the garden
when they are tired. Beside that , pebble stones will be placed
around the gazebo and some parts of the garden. There is also a
wooden plank walking pathway for people to walk into the gazebo.
In the garden, there is some concrete benches under the canopy
trees. The purpose we place the concrete benches is to let people

Concept & Idea
Since Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus still has
not provided any garden for the students and lecturers to
chill and relax in the campus. So, instead of leaving our site
a empty place, we decided to construct a roof terrace
garden. Our concept is based on planting a lots of green
plants and also provides certain sitting and relaxing area for
the students and lectures. The reason is because the vision
quality is important to the surrounding community.
Sometimes, students may need to do some small discussion,
they can also visit the garden to have their discussion or
maybe works at the concrete tables and chairs. We will also
place pebble stones and wooden plank walking pathway for
them to walk directionally.
The green plants will be plant accordingly to the design in
the garden. Higher plants will be plant to avoid sunlight
and lower plants will plant all around the garden. It also
provides fresh air to everyone at the same time.
