Moss side development
- The takeaways from this project was learning how to grade a large site and how that will affect my design.
The Moss Side Residential Neighborhood encompasses the most efficient use of space for units to be cost effective while also saving as much of the original surrounding natural forest area as possible. Existing trees and the oak forest are priceless in creating a timeless and mature looking community. The way that this balance was achieved is by the incorporation of pocket neighborhoods. The neighborhood encapsulates accessibility, celebration of the natural environment, functionality, and affordability for renters.

Vegetation
During the preliminary design process, soil groups, existing vegetation, water drainage, and slope were all taken into account for the best placements of pocket neighborhoods as well as the amenities location. Retaining as much of the original oak forest as possible while also choosing locations with the best views for building was considered.
Road Works and Grading Plan
Making sure that this property layout design would be worth it for inventors and builders was one stipulation. Being able to include the most amount of lots for profit purposes while also including forested areas was all considered in the layout of the site.
