A view is a composition.
Give a room the widest window possible and you can actually make the view worse.
We design a view much like we would frame a photograph.
We remove distractions, reveal only part of the garden until you move closer, or allow one tree to become the focus of the opening.
A very wide window can show too much and leave the view without a subject.
The landscape feels stronger when the architecture gives it a precise frame.
A very wide window shows you everything.
A composed one shows you what matters.
