Sunny Place

Opening context:
South Facing Outdoors, Building Edge, Outdoor Room

Conflict

The area immediately outside the building, to the south — that angle between its walls and the earth where the sun falls — must be developed and made into a place which lets people bask in it.

Resolution

Inside a south-facing court, or garden, or yard, find the spot between the building and the outdoors which gets the best sun. Develop this spot as a special sunny place — make it the important outdoor room, a place to work in the sun, or a place for a swing and some special plants, a place to sunbathe. Be very careful indeed to place the sunny place in a position where it is sheltered from the wind. A steady wind will prevent you from using the most beautiful place.

Closing context:
Private Terrace on the Street, Seat Spots, Six-Foot Balcony, Filtered Light, Trellised Walk
