They open the house to the landscape. You step outside. They let the forces of nature in. They also determine how one of the defining creators of interior atmosphere behaves. It draws the space. Dances across the room. Every morning, the sun rises. Passes through the house. Different every day. It falls. It warms.
Windows used to be small, houses dark. The power of light came naturally. Today’s windows are growing larger. This magic often disappears. What daylight does not flood, artificial light fills in. Architecture that has driven out the dimness. But can there be light without darkness? Living daylight that gives things form and space depth. Different from moment to moment. One or the other? Or two states of the same house. On the main façade, the largest window, a light-filled space. On the far side, a darker space, where it enters every morning. Varied throughout the house. Will-o’-the-wisps. Darkness welcomes you, then transforms into a space in light. Light enters, through the windows, in the Spoj house.”
