ABSTRACT
Until recently the consideration of glass in contemporary standard houses was confined to its relation to window areas only. Minimum standards of window space were established by bye-laws, and these ensured the minimum requirements of light. The windows of the house are of the usual standard type, but they have been set in a reconstructed stone frame that preserves them from the coarseness of the brick. The windows themselves are set either deeply in the sill, or are brought out to the surface, according to their position. The variety given to this in perspective is interesting. The glass set forward picks up the reflections of the sky, for there are no shadows thrown upon it. The glass set back loses its sparkle, because of deep shadow, but the void thus made emphasizes the solidity of the building.
