Town planning in low-dense-areas

We have been studying and developing low-dense- areal planning for over ten years, and apartment planning for twenty five years.

For significant background we have studies in Sweden and numerous field trips to Denmark. Landscape designing and town planning are essential part of designing comprehensive construction. Planning buildings, yard- areas and traffic at the same time, is very important in town planning chapter. Our goal is considered, functional and comfortable environment without unnecessary differentiating activities.

Small building units are flexible with ground, building type changes from detached houses to semi-detached houses and row houses. Despite relatively small plots, one can have privacy and own sheltered yards, by making all plans at the same time with town planning. Plot size 300-400m².

We have also noticed safety issues in traffic environment. Yard streets, street areas scale and fitting parking areas to yard area, are remarkable things for cozy living environment.

Baseline of landscape designing is to have opportunity to improve areas identity and unique quality. Choosing materials and vegetation right, we create scale and integrity.
