223 Deep Reveals

May be part of Light on two sides of every Room (159), Frames as Thickened Edges (225).

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.

May contain Frames as Thickened Edges (225), Thick Walls (197), Filtered Light (238), Half-inch Trim (240), Climbing Plants (246).
