What Is Master Planning & Design?

Master Planning is the spatial layout for an outdoor space. It is the art and science of creating a unified, harmonious vision, that accomplishes the client’s design goals yet integrates and organizes various elements and features in an aesthetically pleasing manner within the limits of the designed space.

 

It should include every element of the landscape; buildings, pavilions, terraces, walks & paths, walls, vehicular circulation and parking, benches & furnishings, plantings, focal features such as water gardens, sculpture, etc.

 

Successful Master Planning must accomplish the functions and goals defined by the client, therefore, it is the client that dictates the design priorities, while the landscape architect provides the creativity and artistic vision that organizes and creates the space(s).
