Vietnamese Style · Louvered Doors and Windows and Arches

A set of Vietnamese louvered doors and windows. Tall, wooden double doors, with densely arranged fixed or adjustable wooden louvers on the door panels, painted in a light duck egg blue, grey-green, or off-white, with a slightly mottled paint finish; above the door is a simple semi-circular arch, with a ventilating wooden grille or louvers inside the arch. Light filters through the louvers, casting regular horizontal stripes on the floor. Avoid: replacing louvers with glass windows, using modern aluminum louvers, making the doors short, or using bright and dark paints.

一組越式的百葉門窗。木製的高聳雙開門,門片上是密排的固定或可調角度的木百葉,漆成淡淡的鴨蛋青、灰綠或米白,漆面有輕微的斑駁;門的上方是一道簡單的半圓拱,拱內是通風的木格柵或百葉。光透過百葉在地面投下規則的橫向條紋。避免:使用玻璃窗取代百葉、使用鋁製的現代百葉、把門的高度做矮、使用鮮豔與深色的漆。
