Homes with Scenic Views｜Introduction to Architecture Firms｜Techniques for Integrating Views into the Home

To maximize the potential of a view, meticulous consideration is required from the earliest stages of design, encompassing site layout as well as the placement, dimensions, and heights of windows and other openings. Designers are judged by their experience and sensibility in tasks such as composing openings as frames for vistas, directing sightlines, and reconciling views with privacy. Here we introduce architectural firms that have artfully linked the local landscape with their built work.
