Balancing Hard Landscaping and Green Spaces

A well-planned outdoor space connects movement, rest and natural features. Pedestrian routes, planting and urban furniture are parts of one design.

Users' movements and resting needs are assessed. Access, shade and seasonal use guide design decisions.

Paving materials are considered in relation to usage intensity and maintenance capacity. Climate, soil and irrigation conditions are assessed together for planting.

Irrigation, lighting and drainage infrastructure is completed in coordination with surface works, reducing the need to disturb finished surfaces later.
