161 Sunny Place

May be part of South Facing Outdoors (105), Building Edge (160), Outdoor Room (163).

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 fir 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.

May contain Private Terrace on the Street (140), Seat Spots (241), Six-Foot Balcony (167), Filtered Light (238), Trellised Walk (174).
