Small Windows, Deep Holes: Visible Wall Thickness

A small window in a thick wall. The wall thickness exceeds forty centimeters, and the window is installed on the outer side, creating a deep window recess indoors, with its sides made of wooden planks or whitewashed slopes that reflect light inward. The windowsill is a thick wooden board, wide enough to sit on or place items. The window itself is not large, either horizontal or square, with simple wooden divisions. Outside the window is snow. Avoid: using large floor-to-ceiling windows, making the wall thin so the window recess has no depth, using aluminum windows and modern frames, or adding heavy curtains in the window recess.

一個厚牆上的小窗。牆的厚度超過四十公分,窗裝在外側,因此室內有一段深的窗洞,四周是木板或抹白的斜面,把光反射進來;窗台是一塊厚實的木板,寬到可以坐或放東西。窗本身不大,是橫向或方形的,有簡單的木製分割。窗外是雪。避免:使用大面積的落地窗、把牆做薄讓窗洞沒有深度、使用鋁窗與現代的窗框、在窗洞加裝厚重的窗簾。
