A courtyard for staying

Fictional existing courtyard: bare paving, brick walls, green door, two windows and a passage at right.

Hypothetical proposal in the same courtyard: canopy, table, movable chairs and planters to the left; right passage remains visually open.

Same illustrative courtyard, matched camera and geometry. Reveal controls compare pictures; they do not calculate a viable design.

What changes.
What remains to be known.

We help frame spatial options, make their tradeoffs visible and identify what needs investigation before a decision. The courtyard is a worked fictional example.

The proposition.

Give the left side a place to pause: a light canopy, a communal table and movable chairs. Keep the right-hand passage visible as a separate movement need.

This is an option to investigate, not a claim that the space is accessible, comfortable or ready to build.

The unresolved part.

Who would use the courtyard? When is shade useful? How will furniture be managed? What site, access and specialist information could change the arrangement?

The next useful step is to choose a question, not to declare the proposal finished.
