This study presents the new look on the dormitory's territory, which is located in Jedlikova 5, Kosice, Slovakia. Landscaping design has a significant impact on people, and touches both aesthetic and physical needs, environmental integrity of the area and has an impact on nature habitants. Good landscaping helps to provide a conducive living environment for students by creating needful places for recreation, physical education and studying, as well as producing the natural and healthy ambience to the surrounding by using green roofs, creating a pond for collection of rainwater and planting a lot of greenery. The study framework covers aspects, which are related to the ecological state of the territory, existing environmental problems, natural features and needs of the residents of the dormitory. The aim of the study is to create such a sustainable space, where both students and nature will be in harmony.
