The residents have a preferance for a house facing south or east south, however the direction of house set due to the form of house site. The gate is mostly located in front of house. The formation of approach to an entrance are divided into several types, and the gate and the front entrance do not locate on the straight line. Then, we divided the plantings in a garden into several types and analyzed the characteristics of plantings. The plantings surround a front yard and make an outdoor room in the center, and the outdoor space and the indoor space are clearly seperated.
