4. Planting Strategy
Plants were carefully selected to suit the local climate, with an emphasis on drought-tolerant species. The planting palette includes:
- Shade trees (such as olive trees) for thermal comfort.
- Flowering shrubs to introduce seasonal color.
- Ornamental grasses for texture and movement.
- Low-growing plants to define edges and pathways.

5. Environmental Considerations
- Use of drought-resistant plants to minimize water consumption.
- Strategic placement of trees to enhance shading and thermal comfort.
- Reduction of hardscape areas in favor of green spaces.
