As a self-employed architect I aims to give enough research and detail in order to encourage the developer to decide on a set choice for the property they have recently purchased. This will be done by providing the developer with a number of designs to choose from that will best fit the new estate.
By exploring subjects such as elements and principles of design, as well as the legal responsibilities and existing land in the area. The estate designed will ensure the developer a well fitted property proposal, which will guarantee the new estate a reputation of being a positive community with modern architecture.

For this estate it has been decided that the holiday houses will be backed up onto the canal. This gives us an opportunity to take advantage of the view and have the house opening up to the view. This open area will include a large pool and deck for entertainment purposes.
This design shows the way to take advantages of space, in this backyard the pool is built around the concrete slab to save space. This also makes the yard look modern and new, which gives a nice view to look through the large glass doors and windows to make the house appear open and natural. While this house is a great representation of the types of houses in the estate it is not very realistic, due safety and other elements that should be taken into
