Sliver Windows: A How-to Guide

Sliver, or ribbon, windows have a particularly unique way of controlling the way we feel in a space. Used high in a wall, they wash the ceiling with an even light, making a space feel secure yet luminous and introspective. Used low in a wall, they create a dramatic shift in focus, highlighting and reflecting the adjacent ground color, material and weather outside. Used at or just below eye level, sliver windows create a carefully controlled horizontal framed view to the building’s surroundings.

在這個視頻中, I offer a primer on the reasons one might choose to use long, narrow windows. Also discussed are three primary wall locations and the benefits of each.
