305 Windows overlooking life***

...in the KITCHEN LAYOUT (302) we established an efficient layout for cooking and other household tasks.This pattern deals with the size and the positioning of the windows in the house.

***

The size and placement of the windows, especially the kitchen window, is very important for the wife to be able to look after her kids while doing the household.

The wife in her kitchen is like the spider in the web of a household. Every task is carefully planned and inscribed into the plan of the house. A central role in watching over her playing children are windows that make it possible to observe them while they are playing. While playing outdoors with the other kids from the block they can get into all sorts of trouble.

The viewing angles should be choosen so that if the kids are out of sight for the mother, they should be visible from one of the other houses in the block.

Therefore:

Determine the size and placement of the different windows so that playing children can always be seen from at least one of the houses in the block.
