Roof and the Private Layer Upstairs

The second floor viewed upwards from the courtyard. The upstairs rooms open towards the courtyard, featuring wooden lattice bay windows and a balustraded corridor, allowing views of the downstairs without being seen. The rooftop is a platform for drying clothes and sleeping on summer nights, with parapet walls blocking neighbors' views. The staircase is hidden in a corner. Avoid: making the second-floor windows open directly outwards to the street, removing the wooden lattice screen to allow two-way visual transparency, making the roof a pitched roof, placing the staircase in the exact center of the courtyard.

從中庭往上看的二層。樓上的房間開向中庭,有木格的凸窗與欄杆走廊,可以看見樓下但不被看見;屋頂是可以曬東西與夏夜睡覺的平台,四周有女兒牆擋住鄰居的視線。樓梯藏在角落。避免:讓二樓的窗直接對外開向街道、拿掉木格屏讓視線雙向通透、把屋頂做成斜屋頂、樓梯放在中庭正中央。
