The first
glaringly obvious pattern is No.128 indoor sunlight. When you are
designing a home arrange the important rooms along the south edge and spread the
building out along the east west axis. Pictured above left is a spiral stairway
leading to a mezzanine adding
pattern
No.152 Half-Private Office. People gravitate to rooms with No.159
light on two sides
and along with plenty of light for a
No.199 sunny counter the light that
enters the room should be softened by
No.223 deep reveals. That's where
the edge of the window is splayed to create a soft transition of light into the
room. The smaller the windows are, with
No.239 small
panes, the more intensely the window helps to connect you with what is on the
other side; like the view of the trees partially hidden by the tea
pots, a nice place to put a collection of
No.253 things from your life. There are many other patterns but
just one last one; cupboards that are too deep hide the things you want to reach
so cover walls with narrow
No.200 open
shelves where nothing hides behind something else. |
