Sliver Windows: A How-to Guide
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- Sliver, or ribbon, windows have a particularly unique way of controlling the way we feel in a space. Used high in a wall, they wash the ceiling with an even light, making a space feel secure yet luminous and introspective. Used low in a wall, they create a dramatic shift in focus, highlighting and reflecting the adjacent ground color, material and weather outside. Used at or just below eye level, sliver windows create a carefully controlled horizontal framed view to the building’s surroundings.
In this video, I offer a primer on the reasons one might choose to use long, narrow windows. Also discussed are three primary wall locations and the benefits of each.

I totally misread your video title and thought you were going to talk about "Silver" windows. This is nice too
Such a clear speaker and good teacher. Thank you for all your work!
What are the things they didn't teach you in school? Everything.
I am learning a lot. Thanks!
Before, the windows in the kitchen are called "nipple-height windows". Now I know what they're really called.
Never thought there is so much at play here... nice job!
This is such a great video. Please keep them coming. They are very interesting.
Thanks for the support...liking and sharing helps immensely...! Cheers...
Many interesting window concepts appreciated
Eric, this video has been helpful and inspiring. I am currently designing a small desert retreat and planning to incorporate several strategically located sliver windows. Thank you!
Well structured interesting information, Thanks
Extraordinario. Gracias por compartir... thank's...
Tank you for uploading your videos. They are very interesting and enlightening.
I love your videos!
thank you for this!
Interesting information.
Thank you :)
Very detail explanation. Thank you very much.
love it
Good work
I’m loving your videos, thank you! Regarding the clerestory windows at the top of the wall, they look about 12’ high, is that correct?
The slit window in the kitchen @ 6:35 would feel much more intentional, calm, and mature if they added cabinets above the window. Otherwise with the way it is right now with the lights it feels kind of playful but also out-of-place and incomplete for the more refined design the rest of the kitchen is going for.
What is the interior wall treatment at 4:20? It looks almost like a rain screen.
I love the circular light shades at 1:10, you don't happen to know the name of the product do you? or do you think they are custom made?
I think those are Random Lights sold by Moooi
Void or Opening is a proper term i think . Windows is just subset of it
what kind of markers do you use
is it prisma colour
Here's what I use: amzn.to/2w3NLq8
And...the cool greys: amzn.to/2wD8c0O
I like the content but why do architects always talk like they’re trying to say something clever at a gallery opening? Is learning how to talk like a blow hard part of the degree? I have a hard time believing anyone actually talks like this to their significant other. “One does this”, “this gives one”… we get it, your job involves rich people. It just sounds so unnatural. The effects are real and nuanced but it could all be communicated with less… “art talk”. At the end of the day, it’s a house in the woods or whatever.
There are lots of good ideas and sentences here, more just a sociological comment.
