1.3.1 Villa Landscape
21
VILLA LANDSCAPE
The villa landscape was a project to be applied for the landscape course in the university, which required each student to choose a number of family members with different personalities and design the villa based on that perspective. The villa was planned in similar aspects to my family member’s lifestyle and personalities. The outside area of the house had been sketched based on the family admiration to Gardening. So, added a space to place the gardening equipments next to a .corner filled with soil to practice the gardening activities Also, all family members are the party and event planners type, so mapped the .garden as an open space to be used for such occasions
The eldest daughter’s favorite hobby is to practice yoga and do meditation. Therefore, added a sensational scene for her meditation area, by scheming a cornered fountain in the garden with enough space for her yoga mat and equipments. After all, the fountain is known and used in many countries and centuries for healing, soothing and relaxing by hearing the sound of the water .flow and spread the spiritual environment The middle and youngest daughters admire the beauty of nature, and loves to chill and read while looking at refreshing environmental colors like green and blue. Therefore, it was decided to build a terrace in the second floor with a comfortable seating area to practice their hobbies while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the fountain and pool that has been appended to the garden in the .ground floor
