The window that isn't a window
Our favorite opening in any Obsidian house is rarely glazed. Sometimes the best view is a gap in a wall.
Introduction
Not every opening needs glass. Some just need air and a frame.
The Idea
A few of our courtyard walls have unglazed openings — sheltered by roof overhang, open to weather, framing a view without ever being called a window.
Why It Works
It removes the barrier entirely. You’re not looking at the garden. You’re standing in it.
