Problem
Houses often lack any outdoor spot that truly invites sitting: terraces sit in shadow, catch every gust of wind, or lie too far from the house to bother with. Without a sheltered, sun-warmed place right against the house, the garden goes unused no matter how pleasant it looks.
Solution
Place a sheltered, sun-facing spot with somewhere to sit directly against the south wall of the house, right where indoors and outdoors blend together, so it draws people to linger on its own terms.
