Hi abin30310. It's great to hear your passion for natural daylighting and ventilation. We worked with a client years ago who shared this passion, check out the home here: EB1 Residence - RHO Architects.

The privacy aspect could be tackled via frosted glass, high windows, etc. These solutions will bring in daylight while providing adequate privacy. Hope this helps!

I think your bottom photo would suit a room of much larger dimensions than yours. keep colours very light including the floor. colour can then be added in smaller pops for cushions etc.

Hi Eve, It looks like you have a very nice blank canvas to work with! The trees are far enough away from the house, and as you said, they don't cast too much shade so they shouldn't be a problem at all. I agree with what was said previously. You should observe the garden space in different times of the day and decide where is it that you would like to sit (Maybe it is the case that you would like to sit with your morning coffee in a spot, and have a barbecue at lunch time at another spot). Once you choose where the seating areas will be, you can determine the planting places. There are plants for every situation from deep shade to hot sun, so this is not a limitation, you will just have to match the right plants with the right places. The only thing with planting that you should consider is if you do want to grow vegetables. Then a place in the sun is advised. I offer a garden sketch that can be done online- a drawing not to scale that gives you an idea of how best to divide your garden to cater for your needs and tastes. This is very cost effective way to have an initial idea when you are stuck. Please do let me know if you are interested and good luck with your new garden!
