SHOP ARRANGEMENT

Large trees like Pistacia chinensis and roofed corridors provide shade on hot Texas summer days. The tree lanes guide people to the central sunken square, the Sun Plaza. Kids love this area for the fountain in the sunken square and their parents love to sitting in outdoor chairs around the sunken plaza and watch their kids playing with water.

The plan will propose optimal spatial arrangements of diverse land usages including a mixed-use center, a resort, residential communities, entertainment centers, school, etc. Thouse residential areas mainly serve for doctors, nurses and staffs to provide them a better living environments. The garden I designed is located in the center of high-density residential area. It will be a large open space for residents to relax, enjoy family time, get close to clean water and capture different views in all seasons.
