Observe before drawing
Morning sun, favourite views and places where you seek quiet are useful starting points. Well-placed openings can support several activities.
Daylight and privacy
A courtyard, high window or recessed facade can bring in light while filtering views. The amount of glazing alone does not define the quality of a space.
Think across seasons
Shade, comfort and views change throughout the year. Solar protection and the building envelope should be studied together.
