WINDOW
The physical experience of the night sky is an essential aspect
inside the wooden structure. We find it of high importance that
the window can be open fully, as well as this procedure should
be easy to do. Our solution is a two-parted plastic dome, a light
structure easily maneuverable. You push it open and get it back
to place by pulling connected ropes. (fig. 25)
Another aspect is the window frame, that visually should be as
sharp and clean as possible to make the perception effect of the
sky lying close to the window (fig. 25.3)

Finally, there are some points on the structure that are
more fragile. Over the back of the structure there is an extra
protecting layer of tar paper (fig.23.2). Along the “spine” on the
back where the shingles are changing direction (fig. 24), around
the window (fig. 25), flashing must be added for final protection.
Underneath the form is not in danger of being wet, and the
wood can remain exposed, as a hint of what is hiding inside.
