Windows in Thick Walls: Windows Recessed to the Exterior

A Spanish Revival room with extremely deep window openings. The wall thickness exceeds fifty centimeters, and the window is installed on the outermost side of the wall. Therefore, from the interior, there is a fifty-centimeter deep opening in front of the window, with all four sides made of hand-troweled white plaster and rounded corners. The windowsill is wide enough to sit on or place items. Most of the strong sunlight is blocked by this depth, with only a bright patch of light falling on the side of the opening and the floor. Avoid: making the wall thin so the window opening has no depth, installing the window on the inner side of the wall, using large floor-to-ceiling windows, adding wooden trim and curtain boxes inside the window opening.

一個窗洞極深的西班牙復興房間。牆的厚度超過五十公分,窗戶安裝在牆體的最外側,因此從室內看,窗前有一段五十公分深的洞口,四個側面都是手抹的白灰泥,轉角是圓潤的。窗台夠寬可以坐或放東西。強烈的日光被這段深度擋掉大半,只有一塊明亮的光斑落在洞口的側面與地板上。避免:把牆做薄讓窗洞沒有深度、把窗裝在牆體的內側、使用大面落地窗、在窗洞內側加裝木作與窗簾盒。
