    The basis of the space division is the activities to be carried out in the area. For example, the divisions of basic space are front, middle and backyard. Every corner of the space can be divided into several areas depended on the activities to be carried out. It means that the front garden can be broken up into two corners such as recreation and decoration. For sub-corner of recreation, you can have a large lawn for light exercise while decoration corner provides focal points like waterfall or bonsai.

During the planning of the concept, you can see the relationship between the proposed spaces. This relationship can be used in designing pathways.
