Facade Garden
By placing plants, flowerpots and even benches in front of your house, you claim your space in public. This place is still public, but you create a small area that will improve the transition between public and private space. This is a hybrid space. This space creates a smooth transition between private property and the public. As described in "The City at Eye Level" a plinth is the ground floor of a building. From a sidewalk and human scale perspective, the plinth is a building’s most crucial part. What is your experience when you pass by? A good hybrid zone removes the hard edges and creates opportunities to interact.
