Problem
The front door is the point where a home meets the street, and without a place to linger there, the small, casual encounters with neighbors and passersby simply never happen.
Solution
Set a bench right beside the front door where the street stays in view, so a person can sit, watch the comings and goings, and drift easily into conversation with anyone who passes.
