在著以世界时尚之都的意大利，一场关于门窗的静默革命正在进行。

North Window北窗用令人惊叹的1厘米极窄框体宽度，重新定义了极简设计的可能性。这不仅仅是数字的巅峰——当传统门窗还在5-10厘米的框体宽度中徘徊时，意大利人用近乎偏执的工艺追求，将门窗的视觉干扰降到了人类肉眼可感知的极限。

In Italy, the fashion capital of the world, a silent revolution in doors and windows is underway. North Window with a stunning 1 cm ，The extremely narrow frame width redefines the possibilities of minimalist design. It's not just the  pinnacle of numbers – when traditional windows and doors are still in the 5-10 cm frame When hovering in width, the Italians pursued an almost paranoid craftsmanship to reduce the visual distraction of doors and windows to the limit of what the human eye can perceive.

One.1厘米背后的技术革命

1.The technological revolution behind 1 cm

North Window的秘密藏在航空级铝材的分子结构中。通过特殊的合金配方和热处理工艺，这种铝材获得了比普通建材高出40%的抗弯强度。在风洞实验室里，1厘米框体的抗风压性能达到了惊人的9级（5000Pa），这个数字足以让多数5厘米框体的传统门窗汗颜。

The secret of North Window lies in the molecular structure of aerospace-grade aluminum. Through a

special alloy formulation and heat treatment process, this aluminum achieves a flexural strength 40% higher than that of ordinary building materials. In the wind tunnel laboratory, the wind pressure resistance of the 1 cm frame reaches an astonishing class 9 (5000 Pa), which is enough to put most 5 cm frames to shame on the traditional doors and windows.

其K值（导热系数）可控制在1.1W/(m²•K)以下，这得益于三层真空腔体设计和瑞士进口的隔热条系统。更令人称奇的是，在保持极窄外观的同时，玻璃镶嵌深度仍达到15毫米——这是通过计算机数控的精密组角加工实现的，每个连接点的误差不超过0.1毫米。

Its K value (thermal conductivity) can be controlled below 1.1W/(m²•K), thanks to the three-layer vacuum

chamber design and the heat insulation strip system imported from Switzerland.What's even more amazing is that while maintaining an extremely narrow appearance, the glass inlay still reaches a depth of 15 mm – this is done by means of a precision angle increase by COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL The error of each connection point does not exceed 0.1 mm.

TWO.视觉减法的艺术哲学

2.The artistic philosophy of visual subtraction

"North Window做的不是产品，是光的雕塑。当框体宽度从常规的5厘米缩减至1厘米甚至更窄，窗户的透光面积平均增加18%以上，North Window或许不适合所有人，但它为追求极致美学的群体提供了一种答案：真正的奢侈，是让设计消失。

"North Window is not a product, it's a sculpture of light. When the width of the frame is reduced from the conventional 5 cm to 1 cm or even narrower, and the light transmission area of the window increases by more than 18% on average, North Window may not be for everyone, but it offers an answer for the ultimate in aesthetics: the real luxury is to make the design disappear.

窗框宽度仅1厘米，不足传统门窗的1/3，视觉上近乎“无框”，实现最大限度的采光与视野，通过结构力学优化，兼顾强度与轻盈感，在全球的极简主义别墅中，设计师故意将North Window的边框完全嵌入于墙体，室内外看不见铝框的存在，创造出令人震撼的"画框效应"。

The width of the window frame is only 1 cm, less than 1/3 of the traditional doors and windows, visually almost "frameless", to achieve maximum lighting and vision, through the optimization of structural mechanics, taking into account the strength and lightness, in the world's minimalist villas, the designer deliberately embeds the North Window frame completely into the wall, and the existence of the aluminum frame is invisible indoors and outdoors, creating a shocking "picture frame effect".

Three.数字背后的生活革命

3.The Revolution of Life Behind the Numbers

1厘米带来的改变远超出视觉效果，都灵某住宅项目的监测数据显示，改用North Window后，住户的冬季体感温度平均提升2.3℃，而夏季空调能耗降低17%。更令人意外的是，在为期半年的跟踪调查中，82%的住户报告称"与户外环境的心理连接感显著增强"，这一场针对铝材的减法，不仅可以收获更多的自由空间，还能得到生活质感的提升。

The monitoring data of a residential project in Turin shows that after switching to North Window, the perceived temperature of residents in winter increases by an average of 2.3°C, while the energy consumption of air conditioning in summer decreases by 17%. What's even more surprising is that in the half-year follow-up survey, 82% of residents reported that "the psychological connection with the outdoor environment has been significantly enhanced", and this subtraction for aluminum can not only harvest more free space, but also improve.the quality of life.

这种改变或许印证了北欧建筑理论家斯蒂文•霍尔的观点："当建筑表皮足够诚实，人的感官会自发重建与自然的契约。"North Window用意大利式的工程浪漫证明：在技术够不到的地方，美学自有其解决之道。那些看似偏执的1厘米，最终都化作了阳光与视线自由流动的通道。

This change may confirm the view of the Nordic architectural theorist Steven Hall: "When the façade of a building is honest enough, the human senses will spontaneously reconstruct a contract with nature." "NorthWindow's Italian-style engineering romance proves that aesthetics have a solution where technology can't reach. Those seemingly The paranoid 1 centimeter eventually turns into a channel for sunlight and the free flow of vision.
