Contemporary Lattice Window: Less Division

A contemporary version of a traditional sash window. The outer frame proportion is a traditional vertical rectangle, and the double-hung form is retained; however, the glass divisions are significantly reduced—the traditional six or nine panes are replaced by two or four, so each pane of glass is much larger, offering an expansive view. The dividing muntins are made extremely thin, with a cross-section of only two centimeters, painted the same color as the window frame. The window frame itself is solid wood or slender steel, not a thick aluminum frame. The windowsill is a single, thick stone slab, wide and deep. On the interior side of the window, there are inward-opening wooden shutters or simple Roman blinds. The wall shows its thickness at the window opening. Avoid: using dense, multi-pane divisions, making the muntins thick, using thick-framed aluminum windows, adding complex window casing moldings.

一扇當代做法的傳統格子窗。窗的外框比例是傳統的縱長矩形,上下推拉的形式也保留;但玻璃的分割被大幅減少——傳統的六格或九格改為二格或四格,因此每一片玻璃的面積大得多,視野開闊。分隔的窗櫺做得極細,斷面只有兩公分,漆成與窗框相同的顏色。窗框本身是實木或細鋼件,不是粗厚的鋁框。窗台是一整條厚實的石材,寬而深。窗的內側有可向內開的木百葉或簡潔的羅馬簾。牆面在窗洞處顯出厚度。避免:使用密集的多格分割、把窗櫺做得粗厚、使用粗框的鋁窗、加入複雜的窗套線腳。
