A view becomes more powerful when the frame knows when to disappear.
A landscape can lead the architecture without dictating every surface. Glass provides a connection, but proportion and placement determine whether that connection feels calm or exposed.
Think beyond maximum transparency. Solid walls provide shelter, privacy and places for furniture. Together with glass, they create a more useful and expressive room.
Frame the important moments: a tree, the waterline, the evening sky. The best opening is not always the largest one. It is the one that establishes a clear relationship between the room and its setting.
