The comprehensive landscape design proposals aimed to integrate the proposed architectural elements with essential infrastructural aspects while enhancing the human experience and fostering a unique sense of place.
The key aspects of this project are:
1. Integrated Design:
* Developed multi-layered proposals to harmonize architecture, vehicular and pedestrian access, cycle parking, and overall site context.
* Emphasized the sense of place through the careful integration of public spaces, green infrastructure, play areas, plazas, and pedestrian-friendly surfaces.
* A zonal desing approach, structured around microclimates across the site, to optimize design solutions.
* Strategically positioned direct sunlight zones to interconnected gardens, seating areas, and terraces, providing residents and visitors with outdoor amenity spaces throughout the day.

3. User-Centric Design Considerations:
* Prioritized user comfort and convenience by strategically placing wooden benches in south and west-oriented positions, offering comfortable gathering spots for residents and visitors alike.
* Meticulously considered movement patterns, orientation, context, prospect, and microclimate to enhance the overall outdoor environment and ensure a pleasant experience for all stakeholders.
