How to Draw a Landscape Design Plan

What is landscape design? It's a floor plan but for an outdoor area. Same as a floor plan, a landscape design represents visually any site using scaled dimensions. The main purpose of landscape design is to plan the layout for an outdoor area no matter is it a personal site plan for your home or a commercial plan for business. It may also be handful when a new installation, repair or even an outdoor event is planning. It helps to calculate time and decide which materials should be used in your project. Landscape designs perfectly gives the property owner and landscape contractor better vision for cost estimation, helping to ensure the project time and budget.

Building Plans with ConceptDraw PRO

If it is necessary for you to create the building plan you can draw it manually on the sheet of paper, but also you can use special software. With the help of ConceptDraw you can create the building plan of any difficulty. Thanks to special templates and objects libraries this won't take you much time and won't demand special skills.
Use this template to develop the home layouts, space plans, interior design, kitchen and bathroom design, architectural and construction documents using ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A floor plan is the most fundamental architectural diagram, a view from above showing the arrangement of spaces in building in the same way as a map, but showing the arrangement at a particular level of a building. Technically it is a horizontal section cut through a building (conventionally at three feet / one metre above floor level), showing walls, windows and door openings and other features at that level. The plan view includes anything that could be seen below that level: the floor, stairs (but only up to the plan level), fittings and sometimes furniture. Objects above the plan level (e.g. beams overhead) can be indicated as dotted lines." [Architectural drawing. Wikipedia]
The Home floor plan template is included in the Floor Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This is lecture hall seating plan sample.
It was created on the base of the Lecture Theatre floorplan from the website of the Kent Science Park, UK.
[kentsciencepark.co.uk/ MeetingRooms/ MeetingRooms.aspx]
"A lecture hall (or lecture theatre) is a large room used for instruction, typically at a college or university. Unlike a traditional classroom with a capacity from one to four dozen, the capacity of lecture halls is typically measured in the hundreds. Lecture halls almost always have a pitched floor, so that those in the rear are sat higher than those at the front, allowing them to see the lecturer. The importance of lecture halls is so significant that some schools of architecture have offered courses exclusively centered on their design." [Lecture hall. Wikipedia]
The floor plan example "Lecture theatre" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the School and Training Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The Cafe plan example shows furniture and interior design elements layout on the cafe floor plan.
"Coffeehouse and coffee shop are related terms for an establishment which primarily serves prepared coffee and other hot beverages. Café or cafe or caff may refer to a coffeehouse, bar, tea room, small and cheap restaurant, transport cafe, or other casual eating and drinking place... A coffeehouse may share some of the same characteristics of a bar or restaurant, but it is different from a cafeteria. ... coffeehouses focus on providing coffee and tea as well as light snacks. Many coffee houses in the Middle East, and in West Asian immigrant districts in the Western world, offer shisha (nargile in Turkish and Greek), flavored tobacco smoked through a hookah. Espresso bars are a type of coffeehouse that specialize in serving espresso and espresso-based drinks." [Coffeehouse. Wikipedia]

"A house is a building that functions as a home for humans or other creatures, including simple dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and complex structures composed of many systems.
The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also be other social groups or individuals.
Ideally, architects of houses design rooms to meet the needs of the people who will live in the house. Such designing, known as "interior design", has become a popular subject in universities." [House. Wikipedia]
