Working Around Trees

there are a lot of trees on the site, i dont want to remove them unless they are dead. i want to build around them. they can become a part of design. it is possible too keep them all or most of them. have a look at an example i found around the office. these drawings caught my attention after the lecture with the guy on Skype. I scanned them and added some notes.
here you see a land with a existing building on it and a lot of trees

The designer wants to fit as many carparks as possible without removing trees.


here is how he has gone about it.

33 normal carparks, 2 disabled and 2 minibus carparks are shown.
no trees are removed to create carpark "space".
only two trees -which are blocking the access to the site- are removed. (shown by white circle)

the drawings are done by Mark Burns (Architect)
