Your space, in use.

Start with what outside is for. The route you take, the people who gather and the view you live with can help you describe the change.

Talk about your space

Moving through the place.

A useful route connects the places you use. Think about how you enter, where you walk and the points where you pause. Describe what works now and what you would like to change.

A place to stay a little longer.

Gathering can mean one quiet seat or room to share a table. Think about how the space is used now, where people settle and what would make that time work better.

Movement and access

Where do people enter, walk and pause? Describe the routes that matter.

Gathering

What happens when people spend time here? Mention the uses you want to make room for.

The edges matter, too.

An open area, a path beside planting or a view from inside can change how a space feels. Describe the area and what you would like to change, without needing to choose plants or specify technical work.

Choose work and use

What stays?

Name a part of the space you want to keep, including a useful route or a place you already enjoy.

What changes?

Describe the daily activity, outlook or connection you want to improve.

A useful question is enough.

Bring a defined change or a wider idea. If you are not sure where to begin, describe how you use the space.
