I have another concern, as we want to discuss soon with the excavation contractor where he can/should prepare the ground for terraces.
Your opinion is desired regarding aesthetics and practical suitability concerning the number and shape of our terrace/s.
First of all, I have thought of 3 terraces: main terrace at the back in the garden (Terrace 1), small terrace to quickly have a tea or sparkling wine outside from the kitchen (Terrace 3), and another small terrace near our technical/laundry room (Terrace 2) to put out a drying rack, empty a bucket of water, or just stand there and "gucken" (Swabian for watching or looking).
Regarding the shape/s, I am uncertain. I like round, semi-round, organic shapes but do not know if that fits a square house (9.40m x 9.40m). Furthermore, I like "paving circles," of which I want to place some on the terraces/carport. I do not know if paving circles look better in round terraces than in square ones. Or if then it is too much "round." If you have successful photos, please show them to me.
Here, too, I want to take the opportunity to wish you all and your families a Happy New Year, with many happy hours, inside ;-) and outside the forum. Please let us all continue to come together so nicely and helpfully.
--> And whoever has contact with Hampshire, please try by all available means to convince him to return. We miss him very much.
One more note about my drawings in the photos. I could not draw semi-round shapes, so I partly chose the shape "oval/round." I hope my questions are still understandable.
