Some old hand drawn sketches of a retaining wall structure and a PPT with landscaping plans, was all that was provided. Improvising the basic design and preparing a well rendered 3D model, to facilitate the consultant to give final presentation of the design to the client, was the task.

Challenges

There was only one hand made sketch. There were no dimension or any other input from the client.

There was only conference call and e-mail communication. A lot of brain storming sessions were done.

The project was done based on only client’s explanation about his vision.

As there were no plans, elevation, any cad files, there was a lot of revisions.

It was our first experience in making retaining wall.

The following were to be incorporated into the model:

A massive retaining wall extending into the valley.

The wall to have terraces.

Trees and shrubs planted in the terraces.

The trees and shrubs ultimately covering the wall so that the whole wall looks like a natural bluff covered with trees, plants and shrubs.

Stairs leading to the terraces and narrow walkways along the terraces.

The property developed with 7-8 family homes.

A swimming pool at the edge of the property next to the retaining wall.
