USA 2: Detail (c) Highlights Relevant to Sustainable Design:
We can rethink operable shutters.
Old houses are often loaded with design innovations that come to life on close inspection. These are "shutter dogs" in the upper right, where the metal part above the pivot holds open the shutter against the wall. The lower corner drawing shows the cross section of the dog if you were looking at it from right next to the wall. I like shutter dogs, and I dislike fake shutters that are nailed, screwed, or glued on the side of someone's house. Real shutters feel more substantial when they can swing back and forth with ease and, most important, when they have the functionality to close to protect your house.
Author and illustrator: Charlie Szoradi is an architect, inventor, and the CEO of Independence LED Lighting. He writes about many other topics related to fake shutters and other fake design elements through his extensive travels around the world.
