#TAYOtips . This south-west corner-facing house employs strategically placed windows that promote openness and natural light while ensuring minimal interior heat gain. There are many unique ways to achieve that dream home with a lot of glass without compromising maintenance and comfort. The living room of this house faces the afternoon sun so we designed deep-set panoramic windows to prevent direct sun light from entering the space. The bedrooms of the residence are positioned towards the east side of the property while the hallway to access these rooms act as a heat corridor to receive and then diffuse unwanted high temperatures.
