I have another topic to discuss, as we will soon talk to the excavation contractor about where they can or should prepare the ground for the terraces.
Your opinion on the number and shape of our terraces, considering both aesthetics and practicality, would be appreciated.
First of all, I am thinking of three terraces: a main terrace at the back facing the garden (Terrace 1), a small terrace where you can quickly step outside from the kitchen for a tea or sparkling wine (Terrace 3), and another small terrace near our technical/utility room (Terrace 2) to put out a drying rack, empty a bucket of water, or just stand there and "gucken" (Swabian dialect for looking or watching).
Regarding the shape(s), I am uncertain. I like round, semi-circular, and organic forms but am unsure if they suit a square house (9.40m x 9.40m (31 feet x 31 feet)). Additionally, I like the idea of “paving circles,” some of which I want to include on the terraces and carport. I am not sure whether paving circles look better on round or square terraces, or if that would result in too many rounded elements. If you have successful photos, please feel free to share them with me.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all and your families a Happy New Year, with many joyful moments within ;-) and beyond the forum. Let’s continue to come together so nicely and supportively.
--> And if anyone has contact with Hampshire, please use all available means to encourage him to return. We miss him a lot.
One more note regarding my drawings on the photos: I was not able to draw semi-circular shapes, so I partly chose the shape “oval/round.” I hope my questions are still understandable.

The actual terrace is dominated by furniture, so you have to decide for yourself where you want to look from inside—whether at a tree, shrubs, or the furniture.I would like to thank you again for this advice. It might seem obvious to someone wiser than me ;-) but I genuinely hadn’t considered that from inside we want to look at “beautiful nature” and not at garden furniture. With this in mind, I need to rethink everything.@: We have now asked the groundworker to prepare only the two parking spaces required by the authorities for the time being, but no terraces yet. The exterior and garden planning, including terrace(s), will take more time. I’m also no longer sure whether I want a larger terrace right next to the house or whether to create something terrace-like further back, towards the field. We can only decide after living in the house for a few months and analyzing our habits and needs.
