Three observations worth making
- Check the sightline while sitting and standing.
- Notice where light falls at the time you use the space.
- Record the maintenance and access you can realistically manage.
A sketch with approximate positions is often more useful than a shopping list. Start with the relationship between the view and the place, then investigate the right screen.
