9-11 Williamsons road, Doncaster

Large Scale apartment project vegetation selection & Landscape architectural Documentation

9-11 Williamsons road, Doncaster is located in the heart of Doncaster, which has developed into a lively and wellknown major activity center that attracts people from the greater metropolitan area. Ajacent land use is commercial to the south,east and north.

The proposed landscape architectural treatment seeks to integrate the building into urban context. The landscape guideline as set out in the Doncaster Hill Strategy for a boulevard treatment have been applied along the Williamsons Road Frontage. All tree spacing, paving setout, and materials are consistent with the strategy.

A communal courtyard is provided internal to the development for the quite enjoyment for all residents and guests.The curved planters create a series of cosy seating nodes and provide visual interest from above. In addition, access to a rooftop terrace is provided for all residents and their guests.

The client is a young couple with a toddler and a cute dog and they require two verandah spaces in order to have enough open spaces in their backyard and sideyard.

The proposal creates a private, cosy space by using sustainable construction material and local vegetation. And the verandah roof is extended from the original roof supported by roof extenda and is supposed to provide a safe shelter for their child to have fun.

Overlap City

"E-Gate" E-Gate is the largest remaining undeveloped site and critical to urban renewal agenda of Melbourne "Overlap" city is a response to the tactics and implication of the 3 combinations (Industry:Ecology Mixed-Use:Public Space Infrastructure : Environment) through creating several types of spaces. For instance, roof garden, vertical greening, urban forest and "micro city". The consequences of these spaces are vital, which could bring new habitat, improve air quality, create micro-climate and improve efficiency and accessibility of site.

In terms of roof garden, the way of construction is to overlap buildings on top of each other and the spare space could be used as roof garden. There are 2 options for overlapping buildings - one building over two or two buildings over one.

The other point is vertical greening. I use the 13 pillars to support floor for creating more space for greening. the edge of each floor and even the vertical surface of buildings are covered by large amout of vegetation. The other areas such as timber promenade, urban forest and plaza are built specifically for pedestrians. The core concept of project is to create different types of spaces and their positive effect by literally overlapping the buildings.

"The Hill" Johnstons Canal A Pathway constructed by cutting straight through a Hill

15

The Hill and Johnstons Canal are located in Glebe, Sydney. The design purpose is to insert a new connection between the light rail station and Annandale. meanwhile improveing permeability at the site edges and develop a clearly Public interface.

My proposal directly connect the platform with the Annadale by cutting straight through the hill. At the same time, open space and staircase covered by turf along the cutting.

16

Proposed site plan

For allowing more sunshine in the cutting, the north side wall is inclined. In winter, sunshine come from north so people still feel warm and in summer, strong sunshine from center blocked by the big tree.

Then in the middle part the wall gradually becomes staircase, which allows people going up and enjoy the open space on top of the hill. In the opposite, same staircase extended to the platform for people who live in glebe.

On the other side of canal, I create the continuous and similar feeling by reusing the soil digged out from the hill and pile them up into a very artificial shape.

Excavate hole to the required size and break up sides and base of hole

Use clouts to hold tie on stake.

Stakes must not damage root ball.

Install ties 1/3 height of tree with enough slack to permit trunk movement in wind.
