Designing Green Spaces for Your Home

Designing Gardens and Green Spaces for Your Home

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you for choosing me as your teacher. Sharing with you about what I am passionate about has been wonderful. I hope that now you are more than excited to carry out your own final project. I invite you to make something that is completely yours. In addition, I ask that while you are preparing it, keep in mind that this space full of nature will be a magical place where you or your client can relax. I want to show you an example of how I would like to see your process and your final project: The first steps: Choose your space to work, it can be inside or outside. Observe and analyze the space at different times of the day. Analyze how you want to use this space and what elements are important, for example: sun, shade, rest space, work, sounds you want to have, etc.

Inspiration: Look for reference images of the environments you would like to replicate. Your idea: Put your preliminary ideas of the space to work on paper and return to the place with that drawing to rectify that what you thought coincides with reality. Let's get to work: Once you are sure of your design, perform the quantification of its materials and elements to quote its execution. Find the suppliers and buy all the supplies to be able to start the execution. Prepare the space, start by placing the fixed elements and then carry out the planting. Ready you have your corner of nature! Don't be afraid if plans suddenly change and you have to make changes at the last minute. Remember that landscape architecture is very noble and you can make these changes organically, keeping your entire design flowing. To carry out your project you must take into account all the vital needs of the plants you want to use, so your green space will remain full of life. I ask you to allow yourself to enjoy the process of developing your project, take it as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with nature. Please don't forget to share your final project, this way I can see what you have created and share opinions and advice with you. I ask you to be patient while you wait for my response, as it may take a while. But while you interact with your classmates in the forum, let's learn from each other! Once again, thank you very much for everything. See you soon on the forum.”

“Final Project Thank you very much for taking this course. Now we’ll go over some important points for your final project. First, choose the space you'll work in. Remember that it can be inside or outside. Don't limit yourself. Observe your location at different times of day. Analyze how you want to use it and which elements are important to consider, such as the path of the sun, shadows, if you want some space for rest, work, or just for contemplation. Find reference images of environments that you would like to replicate. Keep your eyes open. Observation is a great ally to inspire you in y...”
