Deep Reveals

Opening context:
Light on Two Sides of Every Room, Frames as Thickened Edges

Conflict

Windows with a sharp edge where the frames meets the wall create harsh, blinding glare, and make the rooms they serve uncomfortable.

Resolution

Make the window frame a deep, splayed edge: about a foot wide and played at about 50 to 60 degrees to the place of the window, so that the gentle gradient of daylight gives a smooth transition between the light of the window and the dark of the inner wall.

Closing context:
Frames as Thickened Edges, Thick Walls, Filtered Light, Half-Inch Trim, Climbing Plants
