223. Deep reveals

15/7/2018

 
Windows with sharp edges where the frame meets the wall creates a harsh glare that make rooms uncomfortable. Make window frames deep with splayed edges so that daylight gives a smooth transition.

​This nineteenth century palace was built by Ahmed Ben Moussa for his mistress, hence the name Bahia meaning "the beautiful, the brilliant". Like many Riads and Palaces of Morocco, the use of Thick Walls allows for Deep Reveals. 
​​The angled edges lets a soft filtration ​of light into the rooms adjoining the courtyards. The use of Low Sills also provides a seat on either side of the window. A woman sits on the window sill to observe the garden.
