NORDHAUS / An eye for detail

Gartenhaus — windows in context

A window study: understand existing conditions, consider junctions and define a clear scope.

Overall view of Gartenhaus.

CONSIDER THE EXISTING · Material, proportion and junctions in focus

Gartenhaus considers the windows of a modest home overlooking a garden. Frames, operation and connections to rendered and brick walls are reviewed together. The study starts with existing conditions rather than an early product choice, creating a clear basis for discussing observations, open questions and a possible replacement scope.

Three decisions

  1. 01

    Consider each window as part of a wall and room.

  2. 02

    Bring frames, reveals and junctions into one overview.

  3. 03

    Make unanswered questions visible before choosing a product.

Design study

Dimensions and building performance require an assessment of the existing building.
