highlighting the level change and off centre trees when you walk through the main path.....how it draws you around the corner as you cannot see around the bend....naturall draws your movement around and therefore to change motion !!!



1/50 model focus on the heights and jaunty colours, shadows show the contrast between the arcs of the raised beds with the shadows of the foliage and the shadows of the avenue !!!



1/200 model focussing on and showing spacial awareness and areas at which can be moved and walked into, showing off the realy jaunty movement which can be created within the designed site !!!


1/500 model showing context!!!

al three models, 1/500, 1/200 and 1/50 to show contrast details better and height change !!!

Favourite Clematis came into flower....gave me that extra boost and inspiration to do more and more work !!!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS..... A DAY OFF FROM THE MANIC PRESSURE OF GETTING THIS WORK DONE, WHICH IS EVERY DAY NOW !!!

Model making........
LUNCH TIME!!! ON TRACK WITH THE WORK WHICH IS GOING WELL, CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS GOING WELL, THOUGHTS OF WHAT IS GOING ON THE WALL ON THE 28TH IS DONE NOW JUST NEED TO RE-DO A FEW MORE SHEETS TO IMPROVE THEM!!! FINALLY MY  HEAD IS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE!!!



FINAL 1/50 PLAN !!! important focus on colour and texture, and the height with use of great shadows!!! however again tried to do to much and rendering needs to be simplified, never thought the case would be 'LESS IS MORE' !!!



cross sections from 1/50 plan including important spot heights!!! Sky needs to be changed and a few more 'Jaunty' plants need to be put in place either side of the paths !!!



close ups of 1/50 sequential sketches, needs slight improvements to make them all slightly more 'jaunty' !!!


1/50 sequential sketches looking at spacial character and the different in shapes, heights and texture !!!



1/50 softworks and planting plan, including topsoil requirements. detailed planting plan including centre spacings and underplanted herbaceous mixes. 'JAUNTY' planting with a mix and vary of heights, colour, texture and flower type inclduing spires, plumes and umbels !!!



moving into 1/50 work......... my 1/50 hard materials plan, including lighting, levels, materials and all key outs!!! after the development and re-design!!!


FINAL 1/200 PLAN, colours, textures and shapes and the contrast i tried to show as much as possible, however others thought i may of tried to do too much which took away from the good line work and natural shapes. Soooooo a re-think of rendering is inprocess and have almost finished a much improved final PLAN !!!




1/200 sections with specific spot heights!! needing a few alterations for the final hanging !!!

1/200 lighting plan, needs re-improvement for the wall, a page which i think can really show off my jaunty scheme to its full potential !!!
