Deep Eaves and Sunshades: Doors Can Only Open with Eaves

Deep eaves and sunshade: a door can only be opened with eaves.
The side of the house facing the backyard. The eaves project two to three meters, or there is a pergola with a wooden beam structure, allowing the direct afternoon sun to stop on the patio and not enter the interior; a shaded transition zone is formed under the eaves, with lounge chairs and side tables. Avoid: letting the floor-to-ceiling glass be fully exposed to direct sunlight without any shading, making the eaves very shallow, blocking light from indoors with fabric curtains and blinds, making the transition zone too narrow to be usable.

住宅面向後院的一側。屋簷挑出兩到三公尺,或者是一道木樑架構的棚架,讓午後的直射陽光停在露台上而不進入室內;簷下形成一條有陰影的過渡帶,放著躺椅與邊几。避免:讓落地玻璃完全沒有遮陽直接曝曬、把屋簷做得很淺、用布簾與百葉從室內擋光、讓過渡帶的寬度窄到無法使用。
