Construction Document: Final Planting Pages

Final Plant Drawing Set
This is the pre-final drawing set for the planting part of my construction documents. I created plantings that supported the goal of creating the feeling of a meadow leading into a forest floor. Through careful plant choice and dense planting the spaces created will be a good balance of hardscape and soft scape. The lighting plan I'm creating will support the drama of the space by up lighting the sculptural Japanese Maple trees.


Planting Master Page

This is the planting master page, it serves as a master list of all the plants and specific details on how the plants should be planted. Since we are planting a roof garden I will need to adjust the sub layer to concrete.

Western Planting Plan

Finished! This is the main courtyard, the plants are all sun loving meadow plants. 

Southern Planting Plan

In the Southern Courtyard the transition from sun to shade is blended together. In the furthest south part of the courtyard deep shade plants provide bright foliage and blooms to light up the space.

Northern Planting Plan

The North Courtyard is similar to the Southern, it has more japanese maples bringing the space out to the North-South axis.  This courtyard exemplifies my planting design program of creating an Urban Forest Floor.
