It’s an interesting look into older architecture, but I feel many architects today have higher priorities than making sure the house faces South and has thick walls - like getting the houses oriented along whatever street they put in and not having the house cost the same as a medieval castle. I think what’s most disappointing is that, in the end, the only “changes” the author even considers making are moving a desk and maybe planting a tree.

I appreciate the article, I’m just disappointed in the author.

I never understood why we place radiators underneath windows and therefore on outside walls. Is it just a matter of there being space underneath the window sill?
