It’s just backwards. So house left and right are when you’re looking onto the stage from the audience, and stage left and right are when you’re an actor looking out. The script called for stage directions, so I drafted one way, but the director didn’t take the “stage” portion into account and so he blocked out the entire show ‘backwards’

well that’s a great way to make a mistake 
well, when standing on the scene, facing the public, the garden is on your right. then we have the same 15 section division as you show.
it’s like starboard / port, it’s a good system because it doesn’t depend on you but on the boat (or here, the scene)
in cities with a strong theatre culture, you’ll often find a “côté cour” or “côté jardin” bar or restaurant (sometimes both) nearby

I wish we were this efficient.
I filmed the Skp process from that last set. It’s a 40 minute video so it’s not really for watching unless someone has a desire to learn how someone else (me) struggles through a theatre set design in SketchUp. The question comes up every once in a while on here.

I wasn’t sure. But then I heard the flute. Now I’m watching for sure.

Thanks for that. I loved watching your process, especially the freedom do be creative and and not so precise, which is always a burden on my work process. Yes, something is seriously wrong with that desk.
