B Natural answer

I think the perfect place would be a rooftop garden above a busy street. It should feel calm, but not empty, so I’d add a few plants, a low wall, and a of the sky. I’d also want a and some kind of screen to block strong wind. If I could make it better, I’d include for the evening and a small table for snacks or a notebook. That way, it would work for quiet afternoons and for watching sunset too.
