    Windows Framing the Sky

    Follow your intuition to save photos that catch your eye. Explore spatial designs to uncover implicit preferences you haven't yet put into words.

    A home with a sky-framing window captures the sky visible from the window like a single painting, bringing natural changes into everyday life. The rectangularly framed blue sky, clouds, sunset, and nighttime starlight reveal different expressions depending on the time and season. Carefully planning the window's position, size, and orientation allows you to create beautiful scenery at the end of your gaze while blocking surrounding buildings and townscapes. Combining it with skylights, high windows, or an inner courtyard creates rich variations in how light enters. We introduce sky-framing-window homes that make time spent gazing at the sky part of daily life.
