Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Review reflections and colour surfaces beside large windows when selecting finishes.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw sightlines from two seats and show shading positions. Review the same layout in daylight and with interior lights on; privacy works differently in those situations.
How to review the result
Check the view at seated height and operate all opening elements. Review whether shading and lighting provide the intended shelter without obstructing everyday circulation.
Cost factors for this service
Preparation can take more work than applying paint. Compare layers, materials and included repairs.
Bring this to the discussion
Substrate photographs, colour preferences and a list of elements.
