Recommendation

To have a garden which fits together a slight theme should be in place our team has selected such a

theme and it is Japanese Private Family backyard Garden

With this in mind we begun looking for the element we though could fit this theme correctly.


29/38

Recommendation

The recommended design would be the Patio as

the theme of our primer would be a family-private

Japanese style garden.The most important reason why the Patio was

chosen is because we can use our ENSP recycle

chairs and table as ornaments in the patio

design. It is not only eco-friendly, helps to save

money and also helps to make our whole garden

landscape design unique and different fromothers.

Open space


30/38

Recommendation

The recommended water feature is the waterfall.

However it is proposed that the water basin at

the base of the waterfall is extended into a pond ,so as to further beautify the garden and act as

another factor which helps us relax or a play

area for children.

Water Element


31/38

Recommendation

The recommended structure is the Trellis.As it

can provide a place for relaxation and by mixing

softscape and hardscape it is a unique naturalfeeling into it. In addition as our primer is based

on a family-private Japanese style garden ,

although the trellis is more of a western structure

we could make one out of bamboo giving it a

moreAsian feel to it.

Shelter


32/38

Recommendation

The colorful shrubs would the recommend choice

as most shrubs are ever green and are within the

acceptable heights of the garden. Not to mentionit would attract less insects compared to the

flowering plants and lowers the risk of hay fever

As we leave the house and enter the garden, we pass under a bamboo-made

trellis.A shelter that is combined of both hard and soft scape .It beautify the

surrounding by mixing physical elements and plants well.After stepping out of

the trellis, we would continue down a path along which assorted colorful

shrubs and plants are planted. soon the path would split one would be a short

cut to the end of the path ,which cuts across a pond. while the other path led

deeper into the garden where different type of shrubs, groundcovers, palms,

creepers and trees. They are arrange by coarse texture to fine texture to

provide visual pleasure. Towards the end of the pathway, there will be an open

space in the garden designed as a patio. In the patio there are tables and

chairs inside it to rest and enjoy the beautiful surrounding. Behind this setting

stands a large group of shrubs acting as a wind barrier to block on coming

strong winds and turn it into a breeze..continuing the path more colorful foliage

would be seen. soon the path would once again merge with the shortcut

earlier.A while more and the cycle would be complete with us back to the

bamboo trellis.


36/38


Additional Recommendation

Our team also recommend the use ofVersiTank a

storm water management tank. It can

1) Filter waste water2) Integrate storm water treatment into landscape

3) Protect water quality

4) Add value while minimizing development cost.

SummaryIn this assignment I learn more about team work and work together as a team. We

distribute the assignment evenly and did our individual part. We also need to use theskills and knowledge of the we learn from the 4 modules Landscape Design Studio I

module, Plants and Landscape Technology module, History and Theory of

Landscape Design I module and the Environmental System and Process module.

The aim is to increase the creativity of the students, develop the sketching skills,

using the knowledge of the orthographic drawings, and apply the knowledge of the

principle of design and let us understanding on the principles of space,

anthropometrics and ergonomics.
