Site Condition
The grading landscape began with a detailed analysis of the area’s contour with the intention to replicate the natural cliff. The selected plants of choice are a wide range of grass species that help prevent landslide and runoff from heavy rain in the wet season which takes place around 159 days in a year from the Southwest monsoon season and Northeast monsoon season.
Site Analysis
Site Potential
Plants selection based on the native trees, local shrub and variety of grasses species in order to protect the land slide and over runoff. Also, visual factor is one of significant key to plan the planting area surround the villas.
Stones’ position
According the existing site, there are a lot of stones to reuse in the landscape design. So, I decided to select stones by its size and shape and locate its in the courtyard, grading slope , and entrance area.
