Site Planning (GP Division) and Landscape Design

Professional development of working drawings for site infrastructure and comprehensive concepts of architectural landscaping for residential communities, mixed-use developments, and public spaces.
The execution of working documentation for site planning (GP division) is a critically important engineering stage that bridges architectural structures with the actual terrain topography, road networks, and underground utilities. Errors at this phase lead to massive financial overruns during earthworks and severe site flooding issues.
AM-ARCHITECT studio stands as a competent B2B partner for real estate developers, institutional investors, and engineering institutes. Our team possesses deep technical expertise, enabling us to successfully design large-scale properties spanning up to 50 hectares and beyond, while simultaneously developing compelling projects for urban environments and architectural landscape design.

Scope of Deliverables & Working Drawings (GP Division):
  • Layout and Staking Plan: High-precision coordinate referencing of planned buildings, structures, internal roads, driveways, turning zones, and civil infrastructure assets to the state or local geodetic grid.
  • Grading and Vertical Planning: Computational engineering of design elevations, road slope calculations, and topographical surface modeling to guarantee natural, unobstructed storm-water drainage and runoff management.
  • Earthwork Mass Blank (Cut and Fill Balances): Mathematical calculation of earthwork volumes across a grid mesh. Project terrain optimization to achieve the ultimate equilibrium of cut-and-fill soil mass, driving down logistics and excavation outlays.
  • Pavement and Road Structural Cross-Sections: Detailed mapping of asphalt zones, interlocking concrete pavers, and green lawns. Layout design of heavy-duty roadbeds, pedestrian walkways, and structural layers adjusted for specific traffic load parameters.
  • Composite Utility Plan: Seamless placement, physical coordination, and spatial clash detection of all projected subterranean and above-ground municipal networks (water, sewer, cabling, district heating) on a single unified plan while controlling regulatory easement zones.
  • Coordinate Schedules and Tables: Issuance of absolute coordinate catalogs for on-site surveying staking-out, setting benchmarks, and establishing physical cadastral boundaries for property subdivisions.

Architectural Landscaping and Public Environments:
In tandem with heavy engineering tasks under the GP division, our design team produces spatial landscape and urban realm concepts (without drifting into the narrow retail plant selection of commercial tree nurseries):
  • For Residential Neighborhoods and Cottage Communities: Layout engineering of highly ergonomic courtyard spaces, functional recreational plazas, children's active play parks, and sports clusters.
  • For Urban Infrastructure: Structural concepts for recreational belts, public town parks, pedestrian waterfront spaces, and town squares, tailored to stand out and defend projects in prominent professional architectural design competitions.
  • Street Furniture and Lighting Schemes: Expert selection and integration of modern site furnishings (street furniture / MAFs), bespoke stone paving grid designs, and functional or atmospheric decorative outdoor lighting layouts.
