SWIMMING POOL AREA DESIGN
Arranging a swimming pool area requires accuracy in determining the design concept that suits the conditions and needs of the swimming pool area. The swimming pool is a sports and recreation area that is carried out together, landscape arrangement in the pool area, in addition to its aesthetic function, also needs to pay attention to its function. In this design, I apply a concept that emphasizes aesthetics and function, outdoor areas in the tropics really need shade and coolness in the activity area. Therefore, using shade plants and beautiful flowering or leafy plants really helps improve the quality of the area around the swimming pool.

CONCEPT OF A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN ECO-PARK / KRASNOYARSK, SIBERIA
The footbridge over the highway is a connecting element of two recreational sites in the suburban area of Krasnoyarsk – boulevard “Studencheskiy” and eco-park “Gremyachaya Griva”. The transition is located on an active walking and sports-running path, so it is designed as a dynamic communication link, where, by means of figurative and compositional expression, it “charges” visitors with the energy of tense twisted spirals of ramps. Our studio “ADM” at this stage in our project activities explores discrete network models consisting of two components – a connector and a linking element. If we take a node-connector and imagine that the axes of the linking elements intersect at one point inside the node, and the elements themselves can be located and fixed at any angle, then we get a universal...Read More
Riihimäki Station Area Master Plan

Pastoral Relics
This project combines ecological & architectural significance. Running through the property is Mill Creek, a tributary to the Des Plains River. The essence of the commission was to redevelop a barn on the property of this historic farm property. With the footprint and three partial walls being all that remained of the building, the site was designed to take advantage of its context, promoting views of the adjacent creek.
The Loumaki Park
PURPOSE The purpose of this proposal is to create a new green area in Karditsa so that it will become the new landmark destination for both residents and visitors. The connectivity of the park to the urban fabric that respects everybody, prioritizing the pedestrians, the disabled, and the bicycles is another basic element of the design, together with the use of materials and construction methods which are easily achievable and ensure the best energy efficiency, as well as the minimum need for their maintenance. GIS ANALYSIS Ahead of the landscape planning of the project, a GIS-based analysis through geo-information technology considered mandatory and of high importance, was executed. High resolution satellite imagery and other earth observations available through NASA’s open platform USGS-...Read More
