The side elevations, as you can see, have very little emphasis on symmetry so the offset bay window (or Oriel) doesn't bother me, personally. It houses a different room (her dressing room), while the two to the right of it are her bedroom - so I guess it's simply a case of the exterior showing a different use on the interior or 'form follows function'. I appreciate a symmetrical facade but I'm not a stickler for it: it doesn't bother me here!ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-4463129632288905962009-05-06T13:58:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:58:00.000-04:00Can't seem to find a way to comment on your Novemb...Can't seem to find a way to comment on your November post about the house. As an architect, what do you think about the beautiful oriel window at the rear? Of course you'll love it; but the placing of it is eccentric/asymmetric. Do you think that was the intention?Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-43242755914940450552009-05-06T11:09:00.000-04:002009-05-06T11:09:00.000-04:00Thanks Janet, I just loved those plaques!!
