Problem
When windows and doors are placed purely to satisfy the symmetry of a facade, they often end up where the light is weak or the view leads nowhere in particular.
Solution
Place windows and glazed doors where the light falls most beautifully and the view is most inviting, and let the facade's symmetry follow that choice rather than dictate it.
