Five Outdoor Designs That Upgrade a Space Without a Remodel
Yanko Design points out that an outdoor space can have plenty of square footage and still lack a reason to stay, and that even a chair needs somewhere to put a drink. Its roundup presents five designs that improve outdoor spaces without a remodel.
The Moonza view
The core point applies to any office with a terrace or courtyard: square footage alone does not make a space valuable, a reason to stay does. Many office terraces sit empty because nobody knows where to sit or where to put a cup.
No remodel is needed to begin. A simple seating corner with chairs and a small table can turn a terrace into a place for short breaks or informal talks. Before buying, make sure the furniture material suits sun and rain.
- Create one small seating corner instead of filling the whole area
- Plan a surface for a cup or phone beside every chair
- Ask about resistance to sun and moisture before buying
