Castile・Stone Masonry and Small Windows: So Thick You Can Tell

A stone house on the central plateau. The walls are rough stone masonry of granite or sandstone, with stones of varying sizes and wide, rough mortar joints. The color is warm gray with gold tones. The walls are over sixty centimeters thick, so the window openings have noticeable depth. The windows themselves are small and few in number, distributed asymmetrically. The roof is a moderately pitched barrel tile, with very shallow eaves. There is no decoration, only the door and window frames are emphasized with larger cut stones. Avoid: cutting the stones into regular blocks, opening large windows, using smooth mortar joints, adding carved decorations and moldings.

一棟中部高原的石造房子。牆是花崗岩或砂岩的粗石砌,石塊大小不一、灰縫寬而粗糙,顏色是暖灰帶金;牆厚超過六十公分,因此窗洞有明顯的深度,窗本身很小、數量很少,分布不對稱。屋頂是陡度中等的筒瓦,出簷很淺。沒有任何裝飾,只有門框與窗框用較大的切石強調。避免:把石材切成規則的方塊、開大面積的窗、使用平滑的灰縫、加入雕花與線腳的裝飾。
