At Studio Concept Landscape Architects we understand that the success of any Landscape Design starts with a design concept that is relevant, creative and cost effective. Our process tests and explores numerous design ideas and themes that have a link and relationship to the clients brief and site context. Once the right mix of design elements is reached we carefully translate our ideas using cutting edge design software.
Each project is almost always unique as each site and location has its own setting and context. Variations such has, topography, micro-climate, existing features and vegetation all need to be accounted. These factors and others, coupled with a brief that the client and the designer develop provides each project with its own course and direction.
The design brief sets out the main items to be considered and philosophy, so for example for a Playground design the brief might list certain items of play equipment, a sheltered area, any special theme or requirements for its users, budget parameters if known, and so on.
We take those elements along with the site study and develop design ideas and present them usually with :
- Plans e.g. a birds eye view of the site
- Sections and Elevations – side on views showing the proposed design
- 3D views – same as sections but in 3D which can really help show the intended design,
- Mood-boards to pictorially portray and show any precedent of those design elements.
