Lattice Window: You Can See Out, But Not In

A wooden lattice window protruding from the wall. Thin turned wooden rods interweave to form a dense, regular grid. The entire window slightly protrudes outwards, creating a small bay window, with a sill at the bottom for placing water pots. From inside, the street is clear, but from the street, only shadows are visible. Avoid: making the grid spacing wide to allow two-way visual transparency, using a flat window without protrusion, imitating wooden rods with metal or plastic, adding reflective clear glass outside the lattice window.

一扇凸出牆面的木格窗。細的車枳木棒交織成密而規律的格網,整扇窗略微向外凸出形成一個小凸窗,底部有可以放水罐的檯面。從室內看出去街道清晰,從街上看進來只有陰影。避免:把格子的間距做大讓視線雙向通透、使用平面窗不做凸出、用金屬或塑膠仿製木棒、在格窗外再加裝清玻璃反光。
