So when we're talking about dominance, we talking about One prominent space within the whole compensation. In garden design, we have control. And we do want to create this dominant space. So that can be a patio or entertainment area. And the subspace can be a cooking area, for example. And we can also emphasize the importance of the main area and the subspace by for example, creating a vertical plane, which for example, would be steps up or down to seclude, the main dominant area from the more intimate area.

So let's have a look at some examples to get a better idea of what we're talking about here. So this is a project with a large patio acting as a dominant area and the pool which is the subspace but interconnected to the patio. We also have some arbors here with some retaining walls to help enclosed space, the swimming pool has been laid out in a linear fashion from the house to help to bring the eye out to the rest of the yard. And the lawn just helps to soften the composition. And this is just an example of a conceptual plan, just something to get the discussion going with your client. In this design, the dominant element is the water feature.

And there is also subspace where you can see the benches. So we established the focal point with a soft sound with this public water feature in the garden. So we have the chance to have a look at some projects and get some visuals to see how dominant spaces dominant features and also subspaces in the garden can help you to unify the whole composition together. In the next lesson, we're going to talk about reputation.
