Make your outdoor space somewhere you actually want to sit

A balcony, a step, a yard. Most of them are storage, not seating.

Outdoor space that is not comfortable is not space. Two chairs and a light convert it in an afternoon.

Do not wait for the full landscaping plan. The plan is three years away and the summer is not.

Somewhere to sit, something to put a drink on, a light for after dark. That is the entire brief.
