Santa's Workshop layout for a L-Shaped with Projecting Garage

Photorealistic evening photograph of a two-story suburban with an attached front-facing garage house on a l-shaped with projecting garage, 62 ft of street frontage with a 26 ft front setback, photographed from the street at a slight angle toward the entry side, so the forward-projecting garage and the recessed front door alcove are both visible, camera height 5.5 ft. The yard is decorated in a santa's workshop theme. Busy rather than grand. Elves mid-job, a sack of parcels put down on the grass and a workshop with the lights on, so the yard looks like somewhere work is happening rather than somewhere things were arranged. Decorations, in position: 1. The star: a cluster of oversized red-and-white spiral peppermint candy discs on stakes at staggered heights, angled toward the street, 3 ft tall. In the alcove, out from the front door and clear of the garage wall. The garage sticking forward has already built you a three-sided room. Put the best thing you own inside it. This one works just as well mirrored to the other side of the walk, so if a tree, a slope or the way you come and go says the far side is better, swap it and swap its partner with it. What matters is that it is beside the path and not standing in it. 2. Sidekick, left: a squat black lantern with thick glass sides and a flickering candle flame inside, sitting on the ground beside a step, 0.9 ft tall. Left of the walk against the front bed. 3. Sidekick, right: 2 of them, a low run of white wooden pickets pushed into the lawn, knee height, suggesting an edge rather than closing anything in, 1.5 ft tall. Right of the walk, tucked against the garage corner. Keep it out of the swing of a car door. 4. Walk and alcove lights: 2 of them, a line of short stake lights glowing softly along the edge of a walkway, no cords running between them, 1.3 ft tall. Both sides of the walk, then turn the corner and run along the base of the garage wall. That turn is what stops the alcove from going black. 5. Roofline, both planes: 2 of them, a dense run of tiny warm white bulbs following a roofline, close enough together to look like a continuous line of light, 0.2 ft tall. Main roofline and the garage roofline, which sit at different depths. Lighting only the back one makes the garage look like a shadow stuck to the front of your house. 6. The garage wall: a metal garden arch over a front path at night, dressed down both sides so it reads as a gap in something rather than as a frame, people walking through it, 7.3 ft tall. This is the workshop door, so it wants to look used rather than dressed. Garland down both legs, a working light over the crown rather than a decorative one, and then one thing that says the job is still going on: a length of ribbon trailing off it, a sack leaning against a leg, two or three parcels stacked underneath. The trick in this theme is that everything looks put down rather than arranged, and a perfectly finished arch undoes that everywhere else. Site it beside whatever the workshop piece is rather than out at the road. Shot at dusk with the sky still faintly blue, every lit decoration switched on and brighter than anything else in the frame, warm light spilling onto the lawn. Palette: #C0392B, #2F6E52, #E8B14A, #F2EDD8. Nothing floats; every piece sits on the ground at the stated distance. Scale reference: the front door is 80 inches tall.
