Introduction
We had selected a 10mx10m site within the campus. It is located at block
E, level 2, balcony. We study the selected site and came up with an analysis.
From the analysis, we had came up with a green space proposal for the site.
This includes concept, master plan, planting plan, costing (bill of quantities) and
maintenance plan.
From this assignment, we will be learning how to understand the basic
landscape architecture drawings as a means of communication and
representation of ideas. Besides, we will also apply the basics in anatomy of a
landscape project, regulation and maintenance in landscaping.
View from commercial block
The Site
The site is located at Taylor’s lakeside campus, Block E, Level 2, balcony.
Site analysis
In our site, it is free from air pollution, this is because our site is
surrounded by the car park spaces which is away from the roads. Our site also
located at higher level than the car park spaces. The wind strength in our site is
average because our site is attached to the block E building. Our site is located
at block E, level 2. The temperature in our site is normal because there are slow
wind blowing toward our site and our site is avoid from sun except in the
afternoon half of our site will explored by the sunlight. The only sound
pollution faced in our site are the condenser of the air conditional attached to the
wall of buildings beside our site.

In front of the balcony, it’s a car park and this is
the view from our site looking towards the car
park.
The railing around the perimeter of the
balcony. It’s a 1m tall railing around the
balcony and it’s lifted by 15cm concrete step.
Block E, view from balcony.
The sunlight will only reach the balcony when
afternoon 12pm to 2pm. Most area of our site is
shaded.
Concept
Our concept is to recreate a rest and study area for students. The site is
originally an open space with rarely any people using it and there is no purpose
there other than viewing the school outdoor. So we came out with this concept,
use this site to create a small green house for study and relaxing area, this is
because there is not much space for student to rest in the study block besides
library. So we decided to recreate the site, which located at the edge of the
block E, balcony, into a rest and study area. After the recreation, the site will be
able to fit in 30-40 students.
We will recreate the site into a green pocket like garden. This site will be
an open space, with awning to shield from the rain, there we will install a
shelter and a few benches in the area. Trees will be implant into our site, the
purpose of it is to block the sunlight and wind, besides that, also to cover the
condenser of the air conditional which produce lot of noise.

The Planting Plan
Introduction of Plants
Ixora coccinea
Ixora coccinea - Ixora is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It
consists of tropical evergreen trees and shrubs and holds around 500 species.
Though native to the tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world, its
centre of diversity is in Tropical Asia.
The plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length, and
produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer.
They prefer full sun. This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds.
Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater.
The most important thing to remember when planting Ixora is that it must be
planted in acidic soil because alkaline soil can result in yellow foliage.

Crape myrtle is an upright deciduous tree or large shrub. Dark green leaves

Hibiscus are drought tender and frost tender and prefer a position in a sunny
location in a rich, moist soil protected from strong winds
In warmer areas, hibiscus appreciate abundant watering and fertilization when
newly planted.
