Hello dear forum,

my name is Alex and after quietly following the discussions for some time, I have finally decided to register here. Since my single-family house is already in the shell phase and we plan to move in on April 1, 2020, we are currently thinking about a practical and stylish design for the outdoor area...
our main concern is the positioning of the terrace, which should face more towards the main garden instead of the direction shown in the plan.
The next question is how large the terrace should be. There should also be enough space later for a pool.
Since the house already has clear, simple lines, I want the garden design to be a bit more daring. That means that more playful shapes and softer forms could be integrated here. So far, we have not been satisfied with the proposals from the local landscape designers.

I would really appreciate your tips and suggestions.
Best regards
Alex

As I mentioned before, I also find the flower bed way too large.
I don't think seating blocks are feasible either, due to their lack of flexibility and the slatted roof.

Bench blocks don’t have to be heavy.

According to the plan, they are made of stone, so masonry.

There are lookalikes made of artificial concrete, which can be carried by one person.

Yes, but do you really want to sit on something like that?
The architect planned it as an alternative to seating at the table.

I have already—on the same slats that would have been on "real" concrete blocks as well.

I’d rather not then; at the table, I prefer individual chairs. And I never needed a stone bench for beer when my figure still matched my name.
