survey, site analysis, plot plan, and the site plan .

assessing the safe design of a human-made or natural slopes in order to determine

the buildbale areas.

creating a visual aide to help visualize the overall lay-out of the land. a 3 dimensional look helps

conceptualize the existing topographic conditions.

the flow of water throughout the site provides insight for future irrigation and stormwater runoff plans. enables

you to designate where structures should be placed.

the dense tree cover allocates for construction costs. understanding the importance of retaining existing tree

cover allows for a “green” design.

putting all the pieces together and coming up with a desgin that is subitable and unique.

master planthe overgrown lot located between thomasville drive and henry thomas drive in atlanta, ga was in desperate need for a renovation. surrounded by resident housing to the north and an elementary

community in a positive light.
