Stobhill Hospital Ward Extension

 In addressing the daylight for New Stobhill Hospital’s Ward Extension, side windows are used frequently.

 More windows are open towards to courtyards where can provide nice views for interior people.

 Side windows are mostly used in traffic space to highlight the inside ways.

 Using timber to create friendly entrance for patience, the warm color of timber and sunshine can build a kindhearted impression.

 Externally the most striking feature of the design is perhaps the window bays introduced to the single bed rooms. These provide strong modeling to the facades, giving a meaningful contrast to the main hospital building by means of a clear expression of the different function of the space.

 Day and Dining Rooms are separated from the circulation and each other only by a timber screen. The screen not only gives a sense of privacy, but allows casual observation from the staff base nearby.

 Different functions need different way of accepting daylight, because public space and private space need different kinds of daylight, which should be applied in my project.

Saint-Ange Residency

 The color of this building is responding to surrounding. Dark wood is pretty suitable for the building in forest.

 The high window is used to accept daylight, more interestingly, the shape of this window is concluded by the slope.

At night, the wood blinds treated with the exact same finish as the facade hide the windows and allow the monolith to become all black and quiet once again.

In traffic space, the skylight window is powerful to create interesting atmosphere.

Studying this building, the shape of windows should be designed with enough consideration, and surroundings can provide interesting resources for this designing.

Museum Of The Sea In Sete

Two blocks integrate together, and different sizes contrast each other. simple windows and pure blocks shape beautiful facade.

A ramp guides visitors in horizontal and vertical directions. Short walls with small windows add more functions to this ramp, because the space below the ramp can be highlighted by these windows.

The height of windows relates to works in exhibition, avoiding excessive daylight and shaping more space for exhibition.

Different kinds of works in exhibition may demands different level of illuminance, so different kinds of windows in various height can be used.

Skylight is used to highlight the traffic space, for example, the stair and the corridor.

The visit is presented in a way which displays three different sequence on the same floor. 

From this building, I can study the way of designing windows in accordance with exhibition. And also, the method of creating space can be used in my project as well.
