A window frames a view, admits daylight and creates a relationship with the world outside. When deciding its size and position, everyday comfort deserves as much consideration as the view.
Light changes with time
Morning and afternoon light differ, as do summer and winter sunlight. Window orientation, shading, neighbouring buildings and trees all help us imagine how a room will feel.
Views to open, daily life to protect
Considering neighbours’ sightlines, the position of roads, furniture and storage helps a window find a more natural place. Window specifications and ventilation also need to be planned alongside the spaces themselves.
