How can I build an entrance box for packages?

I am wanting to build a large wooden box to hold packages for transfer to or from others without coming in the house. It needs also temporary seating on top that can be covered to prevent it being overly cold, or wet, maybe an extra fold down cover? I also want a small shelf on each side to fold down to use for plants or drinks in warmer seasons. The box needs to be insulated for summer and winter extremes for a day or so at a time. I want it to be changeable decorative for seasons and designed to blend or contrast with the exterior of the house or the brown wooden stoop. The color of the wood on the stoop, which is like a deck only smaller, is reddish brown, the house is sided white with black shutters and accessories . I am planning to paint it in the near future as it is 20 years old or more. My name is Roger not Rogea, a typo, but keep using it as it is not an issue. Thanks.

I saw this cute project a few days ago!
Roger, This is a great idea! I also put a wooden box on my porch for packages from the mail carriers, UPS, and FEDX. it appears to me that you know what you want! You have a plan, now implement it. When I know in advance that a package is arriving, I write a note to the mail carrier and put it in the mail box, with instructions for the mail carrier telling them where to leave the boxes, for example: "Please put the packages in the car or van and lock the door". I hope this helps.
I hope you take photos of your progress as this is something we all want!
You may like my storage box project - it's very versatile.
I used scrap wood and use it for outdoor shoes but it would be perfect for packages too.
Great idea!
