Landscape design in housing projects considers social, environmental, aesthetic, and economic factors. The Laburnum housing project in Gurgaon, India incorporated courtyards linked by pedestrian paths with water features. It achieved 100% basement parking with sustainable drainage. The "Living Landscape" student design project received an award for orienting semi-detached homes to face the street with gardens in front. This enhanced neighborhood liveliness compared to conventional back-to-back homes. Grass roofs provided sculptural views of the extended landscape from neighboring living rooms.
