Plan the Relationships Before Building the Pieces
A concept master plan gives the entire property a framework before individual features move into construction. Rhine studies existing conditions, project goals and how proposed improvements should connect.
Start With the Existing Property
Rhine’s concept-planning process begins with on-site investigation of existing improvements and natural features, along with plans supplied by the property owner when available. That information becomes the base for defining the desired scope of design work. Rhine does not provide property-line or topographic surveys; when required, those are the property owner’s responsibility.
The concept then explores the form, character, relationships and connections among proposed improvements. At this stage, individual plant species and detailed construction drawings for structures such as pavilions, fireplaces, built-in grills and pools are generally not specified.
