A narrow floor plan — one room deep — is the best way to get light from two sides. Glazing on opposite sides draws light from two directions, tracking the sun as it moves across the sky. It also is ideal for ventilating a space. This example is extreme, with full-height glazing and operable glass walls. The light is so even that the dining room feels like it is outside.
From inside it's apparent that the other side of the living-dining area also features sliding glass walls. Such large openings mean cross ventilation is easily accomplished.
Cross ventilation keeps the air from staying put and becoming stale and warm. Allowing the air to flow throughout the house keeps the interior healthier, cooler and more enjoyable.

Marie: on dirait que cet espace peut se fermer par des portes coulissantes... ce serait géniale pour la table de patio, qu'on peut fermer ou ouvrir selon la température.
